People might have resonated with her message, but her message has not resonated with the people, neither Democrats nor Republicans. I know it’s a trivial slip of the tongue and that I shouldn’t be churlish. But either she or Rollins is orchestrating this badly. Brices wrote once speculating that Bachmann might be Palin’s Phil Crane. I hope not, but the evidence points ever more in that direction.
The evidence is that Michele wants to be president, has as big an ego as Obama, and is about as prepared to be president as little Barry was.........perhaps less so.
How did Phil Crane hurt Reagan? As I recall, Reagan went on to win the general election rather handily.
The similarity to Crane could be that Bachmann is advancing a conservative agenda until such time as Palin enters the race, same as Crane did (at a time when conservative was not cool) and Reagan was delaiyng entering the race.
