Bachmann seems to be getting in some folks’ space lately. Ryan probably doesn’t deserve this distraction. And if she plans to run, that would clearly take votes away from Palin.

[La Lydia]

Paul Ryan is extraordinarily articulate. I think he will do just fine.

[BenLurkin]

“Brainy”?

Like brainy Smurf?

GOP rebuttal could scramble the message on behalf of the American people from.the Tea Party.

MUCH better.

[Dacula]

I think it sends a clear message.

[Danae]

Ignore the Tea Party to your doom... I am darned glad Bachman is doing this. The GOP needs a constant prod in the buttocks with regard to what they do in D.C. That is supposed to be OUR will, not theirs.

GO MICHELLE! Rip the Dims a new one, and keep the GOP in line!

[tuckrdout]

Listen, the tea party put Paul Ryan and the rest of the republican congress in office. Of course they should have a response to the party line responses! Sorry, old guard, but there is a new dog in town now!

[Tupelo]

I have an idea. Why doesn't Ryan sit down, shut up and hang on and just let Michelle Bachmann give the rebuttal. Not only would I rather hear her, I would much rather watch her.

One thing I do disagree with Ms Bachmann on, there is a “schism” between the teaparty and the GOP. At least the old line Blue Blood GOP

[ReneeLynn]

Since FOX and others have decided not to show Michelle how can anything get ‘scrambled’?

Hmm, with talk of a run coming they’re going after Michelle more now. They’d be spoilt for choice if both she and Sarah run, on which to demonize more.

[toddausauras]

Give ‘em hell Michelle!

[Cyber Liberty]

Why does Fox care? I understand they are ignoring Bachmann.

[USNBandit]

It's bad enough that Rep. Paul Ryan has to follow President Obama.

What is that supposed to mean. Ryan's job is going to be a cake walk.

Intro: We all heard the President speak tonight about the need for fiscal changes, but these are the same things we heard in 2010 and 2009. [Reference quotes from those SOTU] The President talks about fiscal reform, the Republicans are going to act on fiscal reform.

Then give 5 minutes on cuts, 5 minutes on fixing healthcare reform, and 5 minutes on "good fiscal policy and removing the threat of bad healthcare reform equals job growth in the economy.

Three times the content in in third the time as the President. Don't mince words.

[Padams]

I think it’s great that both Bachmann and Ryan are speaking. It doubles the amount of coverage that our side gets. I prefer having America hear 2 conservatives in contrast to the one/Won socialist.

[albie]

I like the idea of Bachman and Ryan rebutting the butt heads. The more rebuttals the better!

[TonyInOhio]

It's bad enough that Rep. Paul Ryan has to follow President Obama

Bachmann, a third-term Minnesota congresswoman renowned for lobbing rhetorical bombs at her opponents

No bias in that paragraph. /s

"'Unusual' Bachmann Rebuttal Could Scramble GOP Message on Obama Address"

Well, we can always hope so! Go get 'em Michele! Kiss the boys and make them cry!

[KarlInOhio]

FOX: 'Unusual' Bachmann Rebuttal Could Scramble GOP Message on Obama Address

Unusual showing of Bachmann rebuttal by CNN could scramble Fox ratings.

[albie]

The conservative message can’t be “scrambled” because it’s based on common sense principles and, unlike the libs, not on emotion or on what needs to be said according to polls.

Our message is consistent and I can’t think of two better people to deliver it.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

So now Fox MAY CHOSE to air her live?

[Earthdweller]

TEA party pressure...good for what ails ya.
