It’s a weakness, imho. However, I also believe that she is still a better candidate than many of the others out there, regardless.
Agreed.
The question it raises is she smart enough to get the people around her to provide “experience.”
Sometimes you can tell this about how a candidate runs his campaign, though I don’t think that’s foolproof either. Plus we, on the outside, really don’t know how well or poorly a campaign is being run on the inside. We only know what leaks out or an incident here or there.
It will be interesting to see how the race develops. I really don’t see anyone currently in the ring generating more enthusiasm for the longterm. Yes, if Palin gets in, things change (How? Not knowable.) I don’t think Perry gets out of the gate at all, as great as he may be.
This is a “changed” election, not a “change” election as Rove used to use that term. We’re really at a unique crossroads in history.
You know, I apologize. I have been participating in two Bachmann threads more or less simultaneously and may have sort of interwoven the two in my conversation with you.
If so, again, sorry.
My points, however, do remain! :)
