VIDEO: No Talking Points: Bachmann & Palin (CNN Being Fair For Once!)
CNN Newsroom blog ^

Posted on 08/15/2011 7:34:35 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

Kudos to Don Lemon for this fair and worthwhile analysis of two VERY DIFFERENT CANDIDATES. Fantastic video revealing and contrasting Bachmann's rounds through Sunday talk shows with Palin's natural candor while responding to on-the-spot questioning while walking through the state fair.

Well if CNN was being fair we should vote with our Clicks and maybe even a positive comment. Sometimes things like that do wonders when they get positive feedback.

Kudos to Lemon?

Sorry... I’m skeptical of him since he claimed he was violenced by Marcus Bachmann and there’s no video of it.

I mean Lemon claims that he was violenced and that all kinds of people were recording... but there’s no video.

I don’t believe that either Palin OR Bachmann are my candidate. My mind is not made up yet...

But Lemon? He’s a gay man with a vendetta against Bachmann.

Wow. Thank you for posting. The Bachmann repeat was kinda hard to watch, not good! Palin is just one of the folks.

I heard Doc Savage tonight and he says she will fade esentially. Read "Section9"'s post a few weeks ago about her, it was a bute as well. I am not getting a warm and fuzzy about her, she is being handled, and it shows...

“she is being handled, and it shows... “

Yes. A bunch of people feared this exact scenario when she brought Rollins on board. To me personally it was obvious that was a GOP move to neutralize or at least mellow her Tea Party type positions at best, then move into his regular pit bull thing later when things heated up.

He’s old guard GOP and that’s what they do - sideline conservative ideas/people. Some refuse to accept that but that’s what’s happening so far. Eliminate/minimize the 2 conservatives (MB/SP) and what does that leave? GOP candidates and GOP agendas.

Funny thing is, when Sarah gets into it, she will not pick any of the Republican Party Reptile hacks...

My guess who she picks as her Media Campaign Guru?

Glenn Beck... Just look at the empire he is creating, his media savvy is stunning. Not a front man, but a behind the scenes guy....

I hate to break it to you, but Sarah is not running for anything. As far as the video, I watched it and it was a silly attempt by CNN to smear Bachman. What she repeated were facts which don't change. She was a tax attorney, she did lead on the debt problem, etc. I cannot belive you and other people fall for CNN liberal talking points and smears. I like Sarah, but her answers were very long and the same things she has said over and over again (nothing wrong with that). CNN took 2 second sound bites from Bachman to compare to a 5 minute Sarah answer. It does not take much to fool you people.

Except that Sarah had used the line weeks, if not months before Bachmann did.

While I have some issues with Beck and I think she could do better, he certainly would be far better for the job than ANY of the RINO/GOP faithful. I could deal with it, grudgingly, but I’d trust her judgement. I hope she avoids the old boys entirely, or at minimum vet those she does cull from the GOP like no others have been vetted before. Then have someone ride herd on them.

IMO, Beck would be great as her press secretary once elected. No issue there for me in that capacity. Let the MSM attack dogs try dealing with him on his own turf when he would not be a campaign issue.

You of course intended to provide the secret campaign files where Palin said she is not running, didn’t you?

OR a video from your trip to the future showing that?

Gather them up...we’ll wait.

Better for you to hit the Hwy than to try to foretell Governor Palin’s plans....LOL.

You’re not an insider so you’re *breaking nothing to me* except your Chile breath.

Bachmann is gay averse while Palin is gay neutral. Doesn’t surprise me that a gay reporter would like Palin better. ( Not that there’s anything wrong with that - Seinfeld reference)
