I don’t think you get it. If she declared tomorrow I’d have $2 million dollars raised by the end of Summer. I’m just a fat old cripple sitting here typing on my keyboard but I know it wouldn’t be hard. I already have a list of names to call and other tricks up my sleeves. I am NOT the only person who would get on the phone, go online, go door-to-door or use social media to raise money and garner support for her, there are tens of millions out there. And I’ve fundraised for the GOP and candidates before, as well as being an advance man, driver and bodyguard for presidential candidates. As someone who worked for President Reagan, I can tell you that she’s the closest thing I’ve seen since he left politics.
“As someone who worked for President Reagan, I can tell you that she’s the closest thing I’ve seen since he left politics.”
I can tell you, she’s no Reagan. Her speeches are whiny and flat. While Reagan was a natural with the media, she is obviously not. She is a 1/2 term governor from a state with the population smaller than Sacramento, Reagan was a 2 term gov. of the USA’s largest state by population and a swing state at the time.
And I will tell you Santorum or Ryan could raise 150 million for a primary while Romney or Bush could raise more than 200 million for a primary.
Palin does not know how to fundraise. She might get 75 million for a primary fight.
