Consider this quirk of history:

It was the GOP Convention at the Cow Palace in San Francisco where Ronald Reagan made his political debut in 1964 (the year Sarah Palin was born) as he delivered what became known as ‘The Speech’, as Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona became the nominee that year.

Fast forward 44 years.

Governor Sarah Palin makes HER national political debut at a GOP Convention that has just nominated another Senator from Arizona as the Republican nominee for President.

But this time, there isn’t going to be any damn 44 state blowout by an incumbent Democrat dirtbag like LB effin’ J, running scurrilous commercials portraying his opponent as a nuclear warmonger.

Agreed. The historical parallels are almost amazing. Reagan wasn't elected California's Governor until 1966. Sarah is an incumbent governor. Except Reagan came from California and Sarah comes from Alaska! She is no doubt the future of American conservatism just as Reagan was in his day.

I have heard that San Francisco was a Republican town back in those days. How times change! How many years before the Republicans hold another convention in SF?
