If you were to take Sarah Palin, and remove all the self-deprecating humor and all the personal warmth, you get something like Bachmann. Every time I hear her (Bachmann) speak, I get the vibe of an angry teacher making the chalkboard squeak as she fiercely outlines weekend homework assignments on the wall.
Michelle is good on the issues. I can’t fault her there at all. Now she is down in the polls and hanging on tight. It makes her appearances come off as shrill and desperate. She should just withdraw and save her own reputation. I wish she had soared to the top and stayed there, but I don’t get what I want. And I like Sarah even more than Michelle. Again, not getting what I want. Instead I am leaning towards Newt.
