Quote of the Day (July 10, 2009)

Gary Bauer, former domestic policy advisor to President Ronald Reagan:

"Palin is 45 years old, which means there will be at least six presidential election cycles before she reaches a point in which age will become a political liability... At 45, Ronald Reagan was still a registered Democrat and had not yet held elected political office... Like the Gipper, Palin has a charisma that has energized millions of Americans and thoroughly frightened the Left. During his decades-long political ascendance Reagan was often dismissed as the 'amiable dunce' and a political lightweight. And we know how that ended."
