Bachmann says the right things. She has the right positions. But she does not convince me that she can deliver on them. With no executive experience, no major legislative accomplishments, no real signs of leading anything... it's hard to see why I should consider her capable of the Presidency.
She also comes across -- to me -- as a rank opportunist. A back-bencher who is trying to translate her popularity with TEA party folks into somehow being their leader. I think other candidates (or potential candidates) such as Cain and Palin take a better approach in appealing to the TEA party but not presuming to speak for it. Now, granted, this is entirely subjective -- I'm quite sure that others do not believe the same, and they're entitled to their opinions. But so am I.

We look for leadership, vision, inspiration, motivation, from among those who have previous executive experience. Those are rare traits, even in the best of times.
These are not the best of times. We are in a Crisis Era, following an Unraveling Era, the nature of which is that we have suffered about twenty or twenty-five years with a total lack of leaders in leadership positions, in every corner of our society. Liars, cheats, thieves, backstabbers, and frauds are ruling the roost.
We've packed our leadership positions with the PC mindset, affirmative action hires, people with family connections, negotiators, collaborators, capitulators, etc., lackluster leaders at best. In turn, these people foment the destruction of anyone who pops up with the qualities that make someone a natural leader.
Sarah Palin has "it"; none of the others do, on either side.
