SARAH Palin was hailed as “Ronald Reagan in a dress” yesterday — by the former President’s son.
Michael Reagan, 63, said watching the vice-presidential hopeful was like seeing “my dad reborn — only this time he’s a she”.
Palin’s stirring speech at the Republican convention on Wednesday night was watched by 40million people across the US.
And Michael, a broadcaster and writer whose father was President from 1981 to 1989 — said: “I’ve been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan.
Pitbull
“I insisted he was one of a kind. I was wrong!”
Describing Palin’s speech as “electrifying”, he added: “Welcome back, Dad, even if you’re wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.”
The 44-year-old mum of five — dubbed the Pitbull in Lipstick after being chosen as John McCain’s running mate for the November 4 election — laid into Democrat candidate Barack Obama in St Paul, Minnesota.
Reagan added: “This was Ronald Reagan at his best. She proved she was everything, and even more, than John McCain told us.”

Ew...images of cross-dressing Giuliani... NO, I don't need pics of that!
The Children of the Reagan Revolution are coming of age now.
Sarah Palin is just THE FIRST of many to come. It’s our turn.
And that should have the aging 60’s radicals just utterly TERRIFIED!
She is more than what John McCain is.
I was born in 78, and enjoyed a great childhood because of Reagan's policies for America.
For me, patriotism was at an all time high during the 1980s, dipped in the 1990s and returned after September 11, 2001.
This is one of my favorite TV commercials from the 80s:

God I hope so.
Note though that the graphic has Obama’s goal as “ending reliance on Middle Eastern Oil”, but not for McCain. Yet it is McCain that will end our reliance on foreign oil.
well said! They should be terrified!
Great post...
... got me thinkin’.
Hillary was gaga for Goldwater in 1964, the year Sarah Paliin was born.
Then Hil got taken over by the socialist ideas of her pastor, which led to the Black Panthers and Saul Alinsky and — Bill Clinton.
64 was a great year to be born. I think that makes her the first NON baby boomer to be going for high office!
I think the boomer years are 1946-64. Obama is a late Boomer.
Palin is a “tweener”! Gen X I think?
THE FIRST NON BABY BOOMER TO BE IN HIGH OFFICE. YEAH!
I just discovered that this was posted earlier with the same title. Title searches aren’t working very reliably lately. :(
I'm happy.
McCain has positioned Sarah Palin to get the exposure and experience needed to be President in 2012.
How refreshing to see a female politician in a dress rather than a wrinkled pants suit.
