If she trashes Sarah Palin and Sarah Palin doesn't run, then Bachmann just lost the only person who could give her enough support to beat Romney.
Frankly I think it is Bachmann who is not the serious candidate. She is a candidate for Romney's VP slot. That is why she won't mention him by name.
If Palin doesn't run, she will most likely lend all her support to Perry. Bachmann may have burned the bridge to nowhere and she is stuck on the wrong side.
“Bachmann may have burned the bridge to nowhere”
Irony. Ouch!
Palin infamously flip-flopped on that bridge, as you will recall, and is now in favor of its non-existence.
Burn away.
We agree. If Perry gets in I think this is where Sarah goes in with her support. Bachmann won’t win mostly because Republicans like Governors or VPs after the last non-Governors Dole and McCain ran. Nixon and Bush the elder being VPs and even Goldwater who was before my time.
T-Paw isn’t catching on so it’s looking like Romney or Perry to me and Huntsman is new but I just don’t see where the support is. So the rest are looking at VP or maybe launching cable tv careers which Palin and Huckabee have already successfully done.
My bet on Palin is that she will run for McCain’s seat when he steps down once he finishes out his term. If Romney wins then I think McCain could get Sec Def and Palin gets the appointment to Senate but I have no idea what Perry would do. Perry might run with her as VP but I’m just guessing what Sarah would want to support him.
