Five reasons to take Michele Bachmann seriously…
1) she’s running, 2) she’ll raise lots of money, 3) she’ll stand out at the debates, 4) she could be the only female in the field, and 5) she can fill the Tea Party void…
In the next week, Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, thanks mostly to her decision to participate in next week's Republican primary debate, is going to be getting her first big moment in the national political spotlight. For the last two years, she's been a caricature -- a spoof on "Saturday Night Live," a political lightning rod, and an easy target for some folks to try and use her as a way to drive independents or moderates away from the GOP.
But here are five reasons to take Michele Bachmann seriously in the race for the Republican nomination:
One, there's clear evidence she's running (hiring Ed Rollins, participating at the debate).
Two, she's going to able to raise money, lots of it (take a look at what she raised last cycle).
Three, she will stand out at the debates.
Four, she's going to be the only female in the field (if Palin doesn't run).
And five, and most importantly, she has the ability to win over the sizeable number of Republicans who were cheering on Donald Trump (for a while) and who are listening to Herman Cain (right now). This segment of the GOP wants a candidate who will carry the Tea Party banner, who talks strongly about his/her religious faith, and who will take the fight to President Obama. .

No thanks. I won’t even consider her unless she gets rid of Rollins. I wonder if she’ll be joining the Washington Post and NY Times in their digging through Palin’s emails.
How nice of NBC to tell me...
1) she’s running,
With slimeball Ed Rollins
2) she’ll raise lots of money,
See 1 as to why she won't
3) she’ll stand out at the debates,
Just don't turn your back on her.
4) she could be the only female in the field,
Wishful MSM thinking
and 5) she can fill the Tea Party void…
Not after Rollin's backstab of Palin. She can kiss Tea Party support goodbye.
Hiring that ridiculous washed-up has-been little troll Ed Rollins: MINUS FIVE.
I look forward to watching the next debate. Will Michelle be in it?
Not a good sign for a conservative when NBC promotes them.
Ah! See Bachmann is suddenly “serious” because she hired one of the elites guys (Rollins) and allowed him to go after Palin...She sold out
Bingo!
Funny, they left out THE most formidible woman that scares the living daylights out of them. Sarah Palin is THE candidate to beat. She has it all. And she had the good sense NOT to hire Ed Rollins.
“Not a good sign for a conservative when NBC promotes them.”
Bears repeating.
See tagline:
She’s definitely a formidable candidate.
NBC gives MB a big fat wet kiss.
(RINO GOP-backstabber and poser, Ms. Bachmann):
" Mission accomplished, Mitt.
Rollins whacked (Gov.) Palin (who helped little old hypocrite me) for you
and Pawlenty is next. For you. For you.
Oh, how I love you, Mitt - your support of Global Warming
and your love of ethanol supports AND death panels.
Now, if you won’t take me to Kolob,
how about you just ignore me like Kerry Healy.
And then abuse me like Seamus.
And then just send the democrats after me like the Maucks."
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
We’ll see next week in the debates (according to the article)
She’s actually taken on everything the democrats could throw at her and won.
Anybody else?
Wait. I thought there was another woman who might do pretty well. She whom the MSM prefers not to name.
Looking forward to seeing more of Cain as well.
