Like so many others I guess, they look at themselves in the mirror and see a President??
I believe MB is all about MB. But my main point is that she is being pushed by MSM simply because MSM wants anybody to over take Sarah Palin. This includes push polling and all the MSM tricks.
Yes MB has some real support, but without the ANTI Palin MSM pushing her, it`s very little, but yes enough to be a spoiler.
It would be like Someone challenging Reagan in his 2nd term.
And Bachmann is misreading that as an indicator of her strength as a candidate. As you said, she does have some honest support from the right, but I don't perceive it to be anywhere what's going to be required for her to get all the way to the White House.
Her real positioning and strength isn't anywhere near as solid or as strong as Palin's is. I can't help but wonder if simple good-heartedness and naivete isn't what's propelling her forward.
I don't want to accept the alternative, which is, she fully understands that she's drawing votes away from the clear front-runner, and endangering a Republican win in 2012.
