I've always wondered what Reagan's attraction was. And in her way Palin looks to be the kind of person who is pictured to be rampant in the calm, quiet '50s when everyone was living better than their parents and knew their kids would do better still.
And while it may be attractive to want to live in the myth of the '60s, this is a world that is far, far more interconnected, interdependent and interlocked. To have one of the big kids on the block behaving like a bully, being a rogue nation, appeals to the adolescent. The adults can see the longer term, and the dangers.
Great article.
