Man, really? In 1976 Bachmann worked for and voted for the candidate that many conservatives supported, Carter, and the race was against the pro-choice, Watergate contaminated Ford (not Reagan).
When Reagan was running for President in 1980, Bachmann worked for his campaign and of course voted for him.
Bachmann made the famously common, Carter to Reagan switch in 1980, Perry didn't, in fact, in 1984 he ran for office as a Democrat, and in 1988 supported Democrat Al Gore to replace President Reagan.
Last election while we were running the Giuliani thread here, Rick Perry was endorsing him.
From Al Gore, to Rudy Giuliani in two decades, those are oddly consistent Presidential bookends for the potential "leader of the conservative movement".
Fine. Who shall we rally around then?
