Sarah Palin has a LONG way to go before I could ever entertain comparisons to Ronaldus Magnus. I mean, c’mon. REALLY?
When you compare ideologies, Gov Palin does match up well with President Reagan.
If President Reagan were alive today, who do you believe he would be most likely to endorse from the current crop of Republican candidates?
No one compares to Reagan because he is the father of our movement. Sarah shares a number of the traits that Reagan had. She is unapologetically conservative. She is articulate and has an ability to communicate directly to the people, and around the media. We have the benefit of viewing Reagan through the prism of a successful eight year legacy as President. There were major doubters inside and outside the GOP previous to 1980 that Reagan was electable, whether he was competent to be President, etc.
Where there is a difference is that he spent the better part of 20 years as a movement conservative advancing the cause before he ended up as our candidate. Sarah is new on the scene. If anything, I would say Sarah carries on the legacy of Ronald Reagan, and has the opportunity to make a major impact in furthering his agenda.
