In none of his national campaigns did Reagan aim his fire at the errors of Nixon and the Rockefeller Republicans of his time. He had to beat them in the primaries, for sure—but he did so with a positive, confident message of ideas and ideals.

Nixon was not running, but Reagan did run against the policies of Carter - the man in office screwing up the country. Same thing happening here. Run against the crap Obama did, BUT, present ones own platform of positives.

Yes, I know Nixon wasn’t running—sloppy sentence construction on my part! But agreed, the target is Obama and I think Palin knows that more clearly than most.
