I like Palin but she isn’t Reagan and I doubt if she can win. The press is going to say Obama was inexperienced but has grown and we can’t afford another inexperienced president. We forget Reagan had an unbelievable resume. An actor, a public speaking stint with GE, a union president used to negotating, a two term Gov of the largest state and had ran for president before. Romney’s dad was destroyed by the press and is much more experienced in dealing with them. I think he has the best team in putting together a one versus one campaign. You didn’t see his team backbiting like McCains. Romney doesn’t have the stong convictions like Palin or Reagan but that would be viewed positively by the independants after the partisan Obama. Like Bush, his judges would be much better than Obama. The problem is he is not going to stop the continued socialization of the country but just slow it down. I will vote for him as president but will probably vote for Palin in the primary even though I think she will lose and I know she is nowhere as skilled as Reagan. I worry we are being caught up in the celebrity culture in voting for her. I wish we had someone with more experience and convictions.
a lot of media talking points in that paragraph! Reagan didn’t have a degree in communications/journalism from Idaho! Yep, they’re 2 completely different individuals, with 2 completely different backgrounds, from 2 totally distinct eras. And yet, the media is/was hell bent on destroying both....there’s a message there.
