I do think they were scared of Reagan, and now, of Palin.

That's weird, she seemed to be getting ridiculed for being unsuited to be vice president which seemed fair given how little trust her own party had for her to speak publically, she has been ridiculed for preaching about the effectiveness of abstinence-only birth control while her daughter proceeded to disprove her, she has been ridiculed for quitting her job as governor halfway through to spend her time on facebook while somebody else wrote a book for her, none of that seems undeserved or based on fear to me.

Luck is a political attribute of successful politicians. I agree she has that attribute.

I guess we'll have to wait and see if she ever becomes a successful politician, but generally you would expect a successful politician to have more attributes than luck and a wink though.
On the plus side, she does mostly seem to be poorly or misinformed unlike some of the other conservative leaders in the republican party that seem somewhere between mildly delusional and borderline evil.
