I voted for Reagan in 1980. They said the EXACT same thing about him! So, I don't buy that premise. It's cheap, and a cop-out! I will be BLUNT about it, as much as I believe in the Constitution of this country. I say VOTE for the person who you feel is best to "lead" this country out of this mess - not who you think is going to "win" an election. Be it, Bachmann, Romney, Pawlenty, or whoever. We need to people (voters) with some BELIEF system behind them, not just a RACE-HORSE bet behind them.

Reagan was my Governor...I get it. Reagan led the most populous state in the union and did it well. Bachmann and Palin should not even be mentioned in the same breath if you were breathing a 3.0 into a breathalizer. No comparison.
You are right that many people said Reagan couldn’t win, but he at least had real world experience that voters could accept. A Congresswoman just doesn’t have it. Palin...I’m sorry but if the Democrat nominee was a governor and quit 1.5 years into their term we would be grilling them left and right as a quitter. Seems beyond hypocritical that we don’t do it to Palin. She quit on her state.
