Is there a Bachmann ping list? I haven’t seen one.
I can’t believe the Tea Party worked their A$$ off in 2010 to get this crap sandwich of choosing between two RINOs for the nomination. Bachmann or Santorum should be winning this thing hands down.

Well said.
I think Bachmann and Santorum will rise considerably in Iowa.
Frankly I don’t know why the GOP seems intent on tossing the midwest overboard this year. The midwest has been a major battleground over the past year with the union and budgeting fight.
No they shouldn't, which is why they're where they are in the polls.
It takes a lot more than ideological purity to appeal to the vast spread of center-right voters. Things like demonstrated executive capability, and a personality that compels others to follow, are prime requisites to capture sufficient support to win the nomination.
There are many other intangibles, and the laundry list of skill sets and attributes is long, but the point is, there's a 'total package' that center-right voters are looking for in their next president. Neither Bachmann or Santorum score well on that list, which is why neither of them will be the nominee.
There's even a chance that Romney and Gingrich will fail to make the cut with the voters. It's a wild ride we're on, and anything can happen.
