'Proud' McCain compares Palin to Reagan
Mama Grizzly reminds Sen. Straight Talk of the Gipper.
CNN's Candy Crowley asked John McCain on Sunday what he thought of his former running mate Sarah Palin's book/reality show/political self-promotion tour.
"She's keeping her options open, and I think she should," the Republican senator from Arizona said on "State of the Union." "She's an incredible force in the American political arena."
When Crowley interrupted to ask if Palin was "divisive," the senator chuckled.
"A guy named Ronald Reagan used to be viewed as divisive," said McCain, whose staff regarded Palin as a primping, underprepared political novice at times during the 2008 campaign.
"She's doing a great job. I think she's motivated our base," he added. "She had a positive impact on the last election, and I'm proud of her."
