Is excitement building around Gov. Sarah Palin because she is the GOP’s brightest new face or because she’s a time-tested throwback, the latest incarnation of President Ronald Reagan? Journalist Anne Taylor Fleming, author of many articles on Reagan, thinks she’s seen Palin’s approach before. Reagan tapped into a nostalgia for a simpler, better time, and he stuck to a simple message, repeating it over and over. Fleming discusses Reagan, Palin and what she calls Palin’s special brand of ?Little House on the Prairie? feminism. Guest: Anne Taylor Fleming, journalist, novelist and commentator, who wrote the piece “Shades of Reagan” for “The Washington Independent.”
