Palin would be very Coolidge like, namely governing better than she runs. I don’t think she can win on her own-—too much hatred from the drive-bys, and she has a certain natural alienation from younger people (at least, judging from the reactions of my college students). Even the conservative ones favor Romney more than her. But if somehow she got in, I think she’d be a terrific president.

Regarding the media, younger voters, and the Republican Party local, state, national bosses opinion of Palin.
How would you compare this to how the aforementioned felt about Reagan before he became POTUS?
