Yes. I have no doubt in my mind. He might’ve considered nominating her as his VP if he’d had the opportunity.

"What would Reagan Do?" I've always liked "What would Bill Clinton Do?" as my personal motto. It gives me a LOT more leeway in how I live my life.

Mitt Romney glorifies him
________________________________________
Say what ???
George Romney hated Ronald Reagan...
Reagan called Romney and his cabal “moderates” who were trying to take over the Republican Party...
Williard Mitt Romney said during a debate in 1994 that he never was a supportor of Reagan...
That while Reagan was president, he (Romney) was an Independant...
Something smacks of political expediency...
and since a Romney is connected with it...
To: Al B.
I think it would depend on who the other candidates were.
That's how I feel. I like her...but it depends on a lot of things and it's too early to make those decisions...IMO.
I know who I won't vote for...Ron Paul, John McCain, Mike Huckabee to name a few.
I would consider voting for Liz Cheney. I think she is very sharp.

if you want no rules at all except those that lead to complete power and control, change it to “what would obama do.” At least clinton felt accountable to polls...

I’m more of a “What would Jack Bauer do?” kinda guy. You still get the leeway — but you’re on the right side. Haha.

If the left would ignore her, Palin would get the usual attention in-party members give one of their own in between presidential elections and that would be it. Instead rags like WaPo focus everyone on her. And so I say thanks to them.
Palin’s name recognition has gone exponential due to them. And normal folks aren’t buying what they are selling.
So yes, there is a psychological fixation of sorts taking place here, only it’s not the folks on the right who are suffering from it.
You folks on the left, seek help.

Liz Cheney would be a sight better than the 08 RINOs, but she has no experience.

... last week congressional Republicans started agitating to have the Gipper replace poor Ulysses S. Grant on the $50 bill. So far as I know that was one Congressman.
Could we stick with the truth and not distort it?

Palins name recognition has gone exponential due to them. I wonder if the MSM even realizes the gift they have given her. Thanks to them, she now has a priceless asset that politicians only dream of having...everybody's attention.

For president? Against Obama?
He would crawl over broken glass and through razor wire to do so.

It depends on how old he was and whether he was in any shape to run himself.
I can't see Reagan taking a back seat to Sarah, if he was eligble to run.

Another in the long line of "What Would ___________ Do" series...you fill in the blank. So far, everything from Jesus to - now - Reagan.
The "What Would __________ Do" is brought to us by the same people who brought us "Sixty Is The New Forty" and "Blue Is The New Black". Well, I'm over 60, and it sure as hell isn't the "40" I remember, and blue ain't black.
Of course, we have no way to telling what either, or any, of the choices would do...they are not here. We all would like to think that Reagan would adhere to his conservative principles, drawing on his honor and integrity and vote for the right person, which I believe is Sarah.
People have different thought processes and ways we use to arrive at conclusions and decisions.
It's a rhetorical question that has no bearing on the subject at hand and will not change a thing, no matter which way it is answer. Just more fodder for the obama media mill to chew on.
