And like Reagan she is going to do some things that make ideological purists angry. Reagan picked the lib Schweiker (who turned more conservative later under Reagan’s influence) and he even campaigned for Chuck Percy when Phyllis Schlafly was ready to try to take him out in a primary.

The day after Reagan announced his insurgent bid against Gerald Ford in Nov., 1975, liberal IL Senator Chuck Percy said this:

"A Reagan nomination, and the crushing defeat likely to follow, could signal the end of our party as an effective force in American life."
Two years later, Reagan went to Illinois and campaigned hard for Percy, personally vouching for him to conservatives when Percy was in a tough re-election fight against a Dem foreign policy hawk.

Even worse, in early 1976 then San Diego Mayor Pete Wilson went to New Hampshire to campaign for Gerald Ford and called Reagan "the worst Governor in the history of the state". Six years later, Reagan went to the mat for Pete Wilson in his CA Senate race. Reagan understood that Moonbeam Brown could not be allowed anywhere near the Senate. He saw the big picture.

Sarah is channeling him more and more. She understands that Boxer has to go. I trust her as I trusted the Gipper when he upset me (which was more than once). I've never trusted any other politicians in my life.

Al,
That was well spoken. While many to most of the people attacking her are trolls and Romney bots, some are conservatives like Viguerie, who don’t realize (or don’t care) that they are giving aid and comfort to the enemy. They prefer to go over the cliff with a Devore than to go to the White House with a Palin.
