Sarah Palin=Ronald Reagan

What a performance! I remember the Reagan/Carter & Reagan/Mondale debates. Palin has that same ability to connect with the average "Joe" that the Gipper did. While the lawyer(Biden) was spewing his redundant attacks on Bush/Cheney past, Sarah was offering hope for the average family for the future.

Too bad she's not the head of the ticket. Don't know if the McCain can overcome the present turmoil inthe financial sector.

She has the ability to perform on stage like Reagan but it’s too bad she doesn’t hold the same free market economic philosophy that Reagan held…

what good is originality. I would guess that Obama has hasn't said anything original in his entire campaign, except for some of the early silliness that he is now trying to retract.

She represents a concept.........the average middle class person going to Waswhington.......not some effete Ivy League snob attorney. This is what made Harry Truman so popular. Would Truman won a debate with Biden? No, but he was a hell of a vice president/president.

I've heard it all now. Reminds me of Dan Quayle comparing his experience to JFK. In the form of Lloyd Bentsen........you ma'am are no Ronald Reagan.

She is an example of the everyday citizen in America. She has been effective because she has taken a common sense approach to politics.

I was very impressed with Palin. Biden just looked up to something all the time with that smile.
