“How about you supply some evidence, some quotes, video, etc. of Michele Bachmann being in the tank for either Romney or Pawlenty.”

********************************

The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. As a Bachmann acolyte you are simply blind to it. This Rollins move is just the latest example.

Of course, the real giveaway is that Bachmann can’t win. How do we know this? Only one member of Congress has gone straight from Congress to the White House, James A. Garfield...130 years ago. Garfield was 9 term member of the House and served as Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. He was a decorated General, commanding several units of brigade strength and larger in the Civil War who served with distinction at Shiloh and Chickamauga.

Michele Bachmann’s record in Congress is nowhere near what James Garfield’s was, as even you must acknowledge. I invite you to tell me how I am wrong about this.

No one, and I mean no one with a career as undistinguished as Michele Bachmann has ever been taken seriously as a Presidential candidate. She has exactly the same experience as Shirley Chisholm did when she ran in 1972 and is about as serious a candidate. She will do less well than Shirley. Shirley was pitted against George McGovern. Bachmann has a rather more difficult assignment.
