I’d have to agree. She is articulate, intelligent and can hold up her end of hostile media interviews, all qualities that Palin lacks. Plus she doesn’t have high negatives. And as a former democrat (a la RR) she might swing some blue collar democrats to the GOP side.

Plus she doesn’t have high negatives.

Which is why she'd do better than Palin in a general election - Bachmann could win NH, which Palin wouldn't be able to pull off - but I see neither of them making it that far. Both would run into the GOP machine, though Tea Party donations could trump that. Romney and Huckabee won't make it that far either, for all the obvious reasons. I can see the successful candidate working the ground between, one without all the negative baggage that Bachmann and Palin have from their outspokenness, one who can actually inspire voters, unlike the perennial candidates.

Yep.
