Many people forget that Michele Bachman had a first surge that briefly made her the GOP Presidential Primary frontrunner.

But that may have been because many Bible believing Christians loved her values and spunk but quickly had 'buyer’s remorse' as second thoughts kicked in, wondering if it biblically correct to have a woman president.

So, the question is: Is there a biblical precedent for a woman President?

Yes. In a word: Deborah.

The book of Judges, chapter 5, explains an eerily similar pattern to today's political and economic state of America. Ancient Israel had fallen on tough times. They had rejected Yahweh God and embraced the ways of the heathens. They were surrounded by their enemies, and their men didn't have the moral fortitude to do what was necessary to survive. Enter Deborah, a prophetess, a righteous judge and a 'Mother in Israel' (read: Congresswoman Bachmann today).

A man named Barak (really; not making this stuff up) was supposed to lead the Israel to fight evil Jabin's army commander Sisera but he wimped, saying he refused to go alone. So Deborah had to step up to the plate and drove a nail through the temple of General Sisera and Israel then had peace for 40 years.

So how does this apply today for Christians who believe it is better for a conservative man to lead our nation?

Simple. A long line of conservative men had their shot and fizzled. Rick Perry and Herman Cain surged and fizzled. Ron Paul is a great man but of another 'denomination' (Libertarian). So is Mitt, except doubly (a Mormon and a liberal). Newt is a serial adulterer and an consummate insider. Tough to tell know which is worse for political evangelicals. Huntsman is Bob Dole once removed.

That leaves Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann...

There’s actually another woman out there I could more easily see taking out bad guys by hammering tent pegs through their heads. If you know who I mean and I think you do.

I whole-heartedly concur.
