Palin has poise, personality, and perspective. She also has a gift for for memorable phrases.
Bachmann lacks.
Bachmann is clearly angling for the VP position. The delicate cat fight between these two is unfolding.
My read on the two gals is that they will come to an amicable accommodation early in the game. They don’t really disagree all that much on political positions. They’ll read the polls and come to a mutual decision who will be the VP-apparent and who will run for the presidential slot. Either way a 16-year “chick dynasty” is not out of the question.
Palin and Bachmann both realize the seriousness of what is happening to our country. Please stop the cat fight garbage.
Palin’s ‘gift for memorable phrases’ is sometimes childish. As a matter of a fact I believe Palin lost Independent voters BECAUSE OF her memorable phrases. They don’t bother me I like the woman but get a grip.
Cat fight?
Where is it at?
I don't see no cat fight...except the imaginary one cooked up by the 0bamabot media and their RINO facilitators.
There is no cat fight. What you're witnessing is a manufactured proxy war designed to stop Palin. All of these posters and media hacks kissing Bachmann's @ss will turn on her on a dime. They'll do anything and everything to stop Palin, and they don't care about the conservative movement in general.
What was Palin’s memorable line in the “debate” with Biden? I surely can’t recall. She let Biden win, like Kemp did with Gore in 1996.
Bachmann won’t be anyone’s VP.
1st, she’d just be portrayed as a repeat of Palin and no nominee would want that.
More importantly, though, she simply doesn’t fit as anyone’s VP. Palin was very lucky that McCain got the nomination as he was the only one who could have picked her as VP.
Normally, a President needs a VP with foreign policy/natl security/miltary/beltway cred. See Biden, Cheney, Gore, Bentsen, Bush41, Mondale, etc... That’s with non-DC nominees like W, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Dukakis, Obama(DC but no experience at all).
However, sometimes we get a nominee who already has foreign policy/natl security/military/beltway exp and they can pick someone who doesn’t. See Dole, Mondale, Nixon, etc... McCain already had plenty so he could pick Palin. No one else could have. Romney, Huckabee, Giuliani, none of them could have picked her.
There’s no McCain in this field. No one has any foreign policy/natl security experience. Romney and Huckabee the two most probable nominees would never pick Bachmann as they have no natl sec exp and she wouldn’t add any. Also, we have no shot in MN so she adds nothing there. Pawlenty can’t pick Bachmann because they’re from the same state. The long shots like Gingrich, Daniels and Barbour also wouldn’t pick her for the same reasons.
I think Bachmann is positioning herself to run if Palin doesn’t.
