I will take the latter and have a Teddy Roosevelt than a Ronald Reagan.

Roosevelt was a radical progressive.

Be careful with the term because it isn’t the same as it is used today.

Roosevelt went after corruption which is what we have here and also unfettered capitalism. The country has drifted WAY too far but it was necessary at the time. The man had his faults but being a leader and an outsider was a trait greatly needed at the time.

We need people to fix corruption more than anything else IMO. The latest gimick with Obamacare illustrates it to a T. I’ll take a leader any day of the week over what we have.

Sarah just happens to embody a career of anti-corruption AND conservative values. Best of both worlds.

Endorsing McCain is a minor issue IMO and demonstrates loyalty and street smarts. I am ok with that.
