Is Michelle Bachmann running for president? Considering…. yes, her office confirmed on January 5th, she was considering a run. If so, then the Congresswoman brings something different from most other potential Republican candidates whose names have been floated: She has been elected from a very “progressive” state, but Michelle Bachmann has remained as true to the principles of limited, constitutional government as any member of Congress. That ought to mean a lot to those of us interested in truly draining the swamps of the Potomac. Consider other potential candidates.
Mitt Romney won elected from a very Leftist state, but he hardly governed like a solid constitutionalist. There are many things to admire about the man. He loves his family; he is true to his faith; he made money the old fashion way, with brains and risk-taking and sweat. Romney is honest, savvy, and bright. But for an American Republican in need to radical treatment, Mitt is more a gentle Marcus Welby.
Sarah Palin is the real deal, in terms of what she believes. But Sarah won office in a state with a very strong libertarian streak and also a state which had been run by the Republican Party. There is nothing wrong with her running for president, but there is also little to suggest that on her own she could win outside Alaska. Also, and it is a bit tricky to put it this bluntly, but Sarah, like so many other good candidates, has never really had to run against the political stream. Most Alaskans, generally, approve of her philosophy of government.
The same is true of Haley Barbour, who was the popular governor of one of the most conservative states in the nation. The stands that he has taken have not cost him anything with the voters he represents.

As usual - you are bass-ackwards.
DeMint/Bachmann 2012
PING
Have started a Bachmann2012 Ping list. Let me know if you want on it.
How about Bachman/West?
Works great that way too. But it is Bahmann who is sounding very much like she will run.
Love Lt. Col West!
That’d sit real well with me.
We must NOT let the media choose our candidate!!!!
Never fear, I’m sure someone here will find some fault with her, no matter how small, and proceed and all out war on her.
BUMP
No, Pissant got it right.
Yes
YOU are the wrong one to have a Michele Bachmann ping list.
We all like Michele. Very FEW like YOU.
Don’t worry about her... The media has been telling us all day today how much we want Mitt Romney.
Especially over Sarah Palin (by 21 points!!)
[I wonder if they only polled democraps?]
On a related not:
ARE OUR REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES STILL ‘OPEN’ ?????????
Nailed it.
*High five*
I like Michelle Bachmann.
We’ll see if she’s got the goods to make through the primaries. Willard and the media are going to try to get rid of her.

Unbeatable Ticket
Funny, you are pushing for someone who you don’t even think should have the right to vote.
Funnier still I’ve been supporting her for years. It’s just funny, funny, funny
Oh, the irony.
