Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) praised former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) on Sunday, calling her an "incredible force" in American politics, but stopped short of calling her a parallel to former president Reagan.

"I think that anybody who has the visibility that Sarah has is obviously going to have some divisiveness," he said, adding that "a guy named Ronald Reagan used to be viewed by some as divisive."

Palin has more experience than Mitt Romney, Governor Palin’s 18 years of experience in government and politics surpasses Mitt Romney’s 18 years to lifetime of political experience, Palin has been successful.

Mitt Romney has only won a single election, and he governed miserably, leaving office with 34% approval, being forced to drop his plans for reelection, and turning the seat over to the Democrats.

Palin is facing a national media that even Reagan did not face, and she is having to duplicate while under attack, Ronald Reagan’s lifetime of selling his best image and popularity to the American public, but Palin’s political popularity before the national media’s onslaught, and her 93% approval rating in the Governor’s office, reveals Governor Palin’s ability to win crossover approval.

The question is, can Palin win the primary, most of us believe that she can, then the question becomes whether Presidential candidate Palin can spend 700 million dollars and equal Reagan’s 50.7% of the vote in 2012, I think that she can, and I think that she can beat Mitt Romney.
