1. Comparing PALIN to Bachmann is like comparing a WW-II Normandy vet to a state-side Fort Dix recruit.
2. Bachmann is not yet 'seriously' being taken seriously by anyone in the media. 'If' and 'when' she's ever taken seriously, they will train their guns on her. There's no record of how she will be able to 'handle it'. We know how PALIN's handled it.
3. Bachmann has NO TRACK RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHMENT like PALIN!
4. Bachmann has not ENGAGED and DISHED OUT, nor earned any 'war medals' in state-wide or national political warfare like PALIN has.
Need I keep going...?
