We’d lose.
Bachmann adds nothing and in fact fails Rule #1 of a VP candidate: she cannot even deliver her home state.
After the Rollins thing, I suspect it’s a moot point, anyway. Bachmann’s campaign was already in trouble when her “money bomb” failed. And that was a week or so ago. The Rollins thing was in the last 72 hours.
I doubt Bachmann will be a player much beyond Labor Day or Halloween. Her next problem is going to be to see if she can hang on to her house seat. Between redistricting and burning bridges with conservatives, she may have a problem.
Speaking of home states....
I’ve heard no one mention this, but it seems unlikely that the Mittster will be able to deliver many of his “home states.”
Evidently he now is based in SD, but there is no way he wins CA.
He might still have a home in MA, but he doesn’t win that either.
I’ve heard that he bought a little place in NH, and that is the only one he has a chance to win.
Wait, it get’s worse...go down the line of all the Republican candidates. Other than Gary Johnson of NM, Palin of AK, and possibly Pawlenty, it’s hard to find many Republican candidates that will be able to deliver their home state to the red side.
Unreal.
Between redistricting and burning bridges with conservatives, she may have a problem.
To the casual observer there is no difference between Palin and Bachmann so one must go or split the difference.
You may have a point with the redistricting problem. Clearly they hate her back home and will Gerrymander that seat right out of existence, so moving to a friendly district or running for the presidency may be her only way to play politics in the future.
If they aren't hiring for drive-through cashier at the local McDonald's yet Corporate is scouting for a new CEO, I can understand trying to candidate for Top Gun as opposed to staying home and watching TV.
