It's looking increasingly likely that tea party maven and Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., will dive into the 2012 presidential waters.
Among the evidence is a packed schedule for this weekend, including two suspiciously stump-like stops in Florida on Friday and a Sunday appearance on NBCs Meet the Press, where shell be asked about how the campaign against President Obamas reelection should be framed, according to network previews.
Most notable is Bachmann's involvement in the conservative Club for Growths annual winter meeting on Friday, where her name shared a guest list with those of Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and former Govs. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and Mitt Romney of Massachusettsall rumored White House contenders.

You open your freaking eyes and “get back to us.”
How interesting about the authoress.
In THIS universe Palin's negatives are too high. Spare me the "Ronald Reagan's negatives were high too" line. Palin is no Reagan. Spare me the "polls are lies created by the left" line also. If your neighbor or your brother in law or some people in your church supports Sarah Palin that's all well and good and means nothing on a national level.
In the 2008 elections there were people in my town, and the rest of the country working their ass off for Ron Paul but he still couldn't pull over 10% in any primary state. In the 2004 election there were Democrats screaming in their enthusiasm for Howard Dean but he still couldn't get the nomination. Just because a politicians supporters can make a lot of noise does not mean that that politician is adored across the board.
If Palin somehow pulls out the nomination her loss will be the most lopsided of any Republican since Kennedy/Goldwater. I seriously doubt she'll get the nomination though. Unfortunately my big concern is that the conservative vote will split too many ways in the primaries and Romney will cake walk to the nomination.
Now if you have evidence, other than online polls or straw polls (Ron Paul won lots of both of those) that Palin will win the nomination bring it on. I'd love to see it.
>You open your freaking eyes and get back to us.
A substance free and rudeness infested response.
Have a good day.
Now that's funny. Seriously...you're really Sandra Bernhard, aren't you?
>Good Job ROTB.............saved me the trouble!!!!
Thank you!
The Huffington Post is probably holding tryouts, so we need to be “en guard!”
That was uncalled for. ROTB simply gave you a link to an article which supports the contention that Sarah Palin is the most qualified conservative we have in our stable of prospective presidential candidates. It's obvious that you didn't even take the time to read it.
He didn't try to knock you down, or dismiss you in any way. He actually was attempting to provide you with some well-reasoned analysis and facts to try to persuade you.
So far, all you've contributed on this thread are a couple of wild-eyed, unsubstantiated statements. How 'bout you post something comparable to what ROTB posted to you, to make your case?
I wish Fred could have gotten the nomination. He would have made a good, if not great president.
I like Palin very much and think she is very capable. I do wish she would take some lessons in speaking before a camera. JFK and others did that. She is good off the cuff, but could be better--slow down and make a point. Get rid of a few of her sayings the msm have mocked--rather cut down on frequency.
They would jump on Bachmann like a pack of hungry wolves. I would like to see a Palin/Bachmann ticket, but the old establishment would join the msm in pulling them down. I despise the old line stiff rumped Repubs.
vaudine
You make that challenge, knowing full well that NO prospective candidate has any better evidence of support, at this point.
In the final analysis, ONLY a primary will give us the answer we're looking for. Until then, what we have as tools to measure any prospective candidate's level of support, are online polls, Google hits, number of Facebook fans, book sales, number of public appearances (and attendance numbers), and the like.
Using those tools as a yardstick, Palin easily outdistances all other likely competitors.
Knock it off!
“That thunder Palinbots are hearing is gas.”
LOL!!!
Are we talking methane?
My, aren’t we on a tear today?
I feel like I’m talking to a typical screaming liberal. You’re clearly off your nut, lady. You’re not even trying to make your case - you’re just screaming at us.
Thanks, but no thanks.
