Say what you will, but there is a similarity amongst the attitudes of both Party Establishments of 1980 and the present.

For those old enough, remember how Democrats were gleefully giggling about a Reagan nomination? Remember too how Republican Beltway types were saying a Reagan nomination would be the same as Goldwater in ‘64?

The only difference I can see this time is Democrats are saying one thing publicly, but the attitude inside the White House seems to be very fearful of Gov. Palin.

History reflects how these Elites are almost always wrong in their predictions. I have no reason to feel that 2012 would be any different.

Well you are right, and the 'rats remember 1980 as well. Back then they had no precedent to warn them off their stupid overconfidence, plus they had corroboration from the pusillanimous countryclub republicans who sought to disparage and diminish Reagan because they saw the potential end of all they held dear.

Now, the current ants drones and worker bees in the obama hive have Reagan to look back at, in fear and trembling. Give them credit for having at least learned to look over their shoulder. Hell yes, they fear Palin--a lot.
