Bachmann gets herself into trouble when attacking the front-runner.
When Perry was leading, she said Guardasil causes mental retardation.
When Cain was leading, she said 9-9-9 was a VAT.
Now that Gingrich is leading, she says he wants amnesty for 11 million illegals.
Bachmann mis-truths/uninformed statements have are beneath her. I think she is smarter than this.
Santorum was a disappointment in agreeing with Romney and taking Diane Sawyer’s bait to attack Gingrich.
Perry had his best night. If he had performed like this from the beginning, he would have Gingrich’s poll numbers.
Ron Paul dithered badly on his answer to Gingrich’s Palestinian comment and made himself more irrelevant.
Romney destroyed his campaign. He admitted he would have been a career politician and his bet with Perry was stupid.
“Bachmann gets herself into trouble when attacking the front-runner.”
Remember when she called 999, 666? Now she is acting like she liked it all the time. If she wants to act principled and not like a politician, she should stop doing stuff like this.
“Bachmann mis-truths/uninformed statements have are beneath her.”
She’s a damned liar.
“I think she is smarter than this.”
Just not smart enough to be a good liar.
I noticed that when Steffi gave Romney and Paul the chance to repeat their TV ad attacks against Newt, they both backed off and weren’t willing to repeat the charges to his face. Cowardly...
“Bachmann gets herself into trouble when attacking the front-runner.”
Really? From where I’m sitting it looks like she’s been shooting them all down.
“Perry had his best night. If he had performed like this from the beginning, he would have Gingrich’s poll numbers.”
A few months ago, when it looked like Perry would be the nominee, I thought he would need Newt (or Santorum) in the VP slot. Now, maybe Newt (assuming he holds his current lead and ends up with the nomination) could choose Perry as VP to ‘balance’ the ticket.
Perry has what seems a great record in TX, a military service background, has been married faithfully to(IIRC) his high school sweetheart, and is, generally, a good ole boy. And, who would he have to debate? Crazy Uncle Joe?
In the alternative, Newt might select Kasich who now has executive experience, was Chmn of the Budget Committee when the budget got balanced (at least on paper), has a young, attractive family, and - need I add - is from a large electoral vote swing state.
The GOP is not hurting for good candidates.
