“...comparing her to President Reagan is far more laughable...”

I was a Reagan campaign staffer in 1980 and between his loss to Bush in the Iowa Caucuses and his win in New Hampshire the hive had Reagan on the ropes.

He joked he was “king of the grade-B movies” and “a straight man for a chimp” but it was his recent (perceived) gaffs that were about to sink him. His family was a giganic negative with Patty being the biggest problem. His age was regarded as a problem. We had never had a divorced president. The media that overlooks O’s telepromter addiction was all over RR’s “worn note cards” from which he gave “the speech”.

If you think Palin has negatives...you’re memory of Reagan has faded.

Your mistaken. Like they say back home on the range, the first Bee Esser doesn't stand a chance.

I knew Ronald Reagan, Ronald Reagan was a friend of mine.

To no avail, I worked trying to get him to wear Levis instead of jodhpurs, even his horse was embarrassed. Sarah Palin is no Ronald Reagan.

I worked for Reagan in 1980... how many times was he attacked (even in 1976) for being nothing more than an actor. Not even a good one.

Your memory and mine are pretty much the same.
