Right now things could not be better for the Romney campaign. Obama is floundering out there, making a fool of himself while Romney gets to focus on getting organized and raising money for the battle ahead.
Yes, if we had Ronald Reagan or Sarah Palin as the candidate, we'd be 20 points ahead (just wanted to get that in there). But time to make lemonade out of lemons because Sarah Palin is not walking through that door - nor is she going to pop out of a cake at the convention.

As hindsight, YES, my man Ron Reagan, the greatest modern-day President this nation has had, would be up 20 points; as hindsight (I repeat.). But, this time in 1980 Reagan was down about 20 points to Carter. I love Sarah to pieces. I’d vote for her in a heartbeat. But, you’re wrong my friend. The lame-stream media has succeeded in convincing much of America that she is one ditzy broad. I’m just hoping she gets the Department of Energy Post in Romney’s Cabinet.
Not trying to be contentious, but I believe you are wrong on both counts. We would not be up 20 points with Ron or Sarah.
With Reagan, yes... he'd be rolling along nicely right now. As for Palin... the "media" has damaged her too much to be competitive in a Presidential race. I like her greatly, but the possibility of her winning the White House just isn't there.
