Those are my thoughts too.
Bachman isn’t electable , Perry is.
The election results in their respecetive states show otherwise. Bachmann has won repeatedly against tough, well-funded Dem opponents in a state with a strong Dem organization. The only thing Perry has proven is he can win a super safe Republican state when he has laughable "opposition". I wouldn't be surprised if Perry has trouble winning his own state in the GOP presidential primary as voters learn more and more about the real Rick Perry.
