She’s got my vote.
House members don’t win Presidential nominations these days.
It all blew up in her face with the Stephanopolus interview.
She has no awareness of the fact that the media is composed of treasonous liars. Hence, she is dead meat in their hands.
I actually had hoped that she might run as Sarah’s VP before this blunder.
I didn’t see the interview, but even so.... the fact is that 95% of the public doesn’t know who Michele Bachmann is (more’s the pity).
She should stay (for now) where she can do the most good.
Most of this article is the usual cr@p. The tea party message of fiscal responsibility IS main stream. It wasn’t until the last line that I agreed with anything.
I like her but I don't think she could win and she wouldn't win the general election.
Talking points. “Do you believe that Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen?” Two answers.
What he is has nothing to do with who I am.
That was your job to question him in ‘08, not me in ‘11/12.
While she must be a really smart woman to have achieved what she has...she comes off as a ditz bordering on plain 'ol dumb.
Yeah, she's right on most of the issues...but she DOES waver and is not as fearless as some would like to say she is.
nah...she blew it with the george steph interview...
Actually that’s a good answer.
I would also add that “The people have a right to have their questions answered satisfactorily and from the looks of most of your ratings, you aren’t doing a stellar job”.
I actually had hoped that she might run as Sarah’s VP before this blunder.

It really is interesting the lengths that many on this forum will go in excusing the past indiscretions of “The Donald” (e.g. giving generous donations to hard core leftists like Reid, Schumer, Weiner, and Emanuel), but after one comment in an interview, Michelle Bachmann is thrown under the Bus.
Bachmann has battle scars from her non-stop, relentless fight for the conservative cause, and she’s as good as dead to many in this forum. But the Donald, who’s actively supported hard core leftists whose goal it is to destroy the country, is supported without question, with all past indiscretions forgiven. In fact, many on this forum will not tolerate any criticism of the Donald!
This makes me want to puke!
If she runs, I bet she only campaigns in 50 states, not 57. Ease up.
She’s still too much of a LIGHTWEIGHT.
I can't see how continued discussion of this matter could possibly hurt anyone but Obama and the dims and the press.
All a candidate has to say is: "Yeah, I believe the President was born here, but so many good people still have questions. I believe the President should put this issue behind him, and the country, and show his long-form BC."
Don't be surprised if one of the Dim Senate Candidates for 2012 from a very red states is the first to bring it up.
Of course, the House Judiciary Committee could subpoena it from the State of Hawaii anytime they choose.
If that's still a question during the elections the republican controlled Congress deserves to lose power. IMO
“House members don’t win Presidential nominations these days.”

And for 48 years we didn’t have a senator winning the presidency, then in 2008 we got two of them as nominees.
One of them is a Kenyan. Well scratch that even, there is no proof.
You aren’t going to get enough candidates to answer the question the way you want so I think we can consider losing a foregone conclusion.
I think the conventional wisdom is in a state of collapse. Most house members aren’t as well known as Michelle Bachman. He wasn’t my choice but Ron Paul did exceptionally well considering the fact that he was wrong on many of the issues.
