Bachmann: Republican voters 'very satisfied' with presidential candidates
The Hill ^ | June 17, 2011 | Michael O'Brien

Posted on 06/17/2011 11:17:59 AM PDT by Al B.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said Friday that it's her sense that Republican voters are "very satisfied" with the field of presidential candidates.

Following Monday's debate in New Hampshire, Bachmann said voters were happier with their options.

"I think people, especially after the debate on Monday night, were very satisfied with what they saw with the candidates," she said on Fox News.

[...]

She passed, though, both at the debate and on Fox, at leveling tough criticism at former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's (R) state healthcare law.

[...]

Rather, Bachmann suggested she's more likely to train her sights on President Obama than other Republicans.

"I think that's what you saw on Monday night and I think that's what you'll be seeing going forward," she said.

I’m a Palin fan.

Bachman is a knockoff of Palin, and I’ve long believed her presence was to siphon “female” votes from Palin. She might or might not realize that, but in any case, she’ll be promoted by the media who fears a Palin presidency.

I believe there’s a good chance that “moderate” democrats are disenchanted with Obama’s clear incompetence with the economy and are willing to settle for Romney (Obama lite). The strategy would be to ignore the radical left of the democratic party and the conservative base of the republican party and seek to win with the combined moderate voters of both parties.

This would explain the media being all positive about Romney.

Another scenario, of course, is that they consider Romney their easiest candidate to defeat since he’s just Obama lite and would be unable to challenge Obama on anything at all.

You betcha! I DESPISE ALL progressive marxists... I mean a deep seething and well deserved disdain... but most of these people arguing on these threads are FReepers rooting for a candidate the way some people grasp on to an NFL team or a NASCAR driver... but some of these people you see here on FR are paid party hacks... those vermin are as despicable as the dims themselves... these are the people than cut back room deals with satan... stab us in the back every chance that they get... they sell their souls for power and money... these we engage with malice and forethought. GOD bless you and fight like hell... for that is who you are fighting. Thanks for the post my FRiend.

She thinks it’s a disservice to point out how vulnerable Romney is in a national campaign with his Romneycare compared to 0bamacare. Yet she had no problem sending Rollins out to attack Palin. Shut up, Michelle. Her credibility is shot to hell as far as I’m concerned. And, no, the race is not settled yet.

Bachmann started it all on her own. She rolls with Rollins.

Nothing to see with Bachmann’s own Ed Rollins, right? What does that say about her? That has shown where she’s gone .As far as attacking Republicans and a conservative, she’s ok with going after Palin. She’s rightfully getting called out on it.

The American people do not know who Bachmann is. We have little over a yr. until the election. Bachmann has not had the target fully on her and the pitfalls yet. We don’t know what’s hiding in her closet. Good luck. She’s not a credible candidate.

Just delusional. You really want to act like Bachmann has been through what the media would put her through and the public doesn’t know who she is and, for this size campaign, they can dig up a lot of dirt just as she’d be getting introduced to the public. Doesn’t matter. Just looking forward to Palin entering as we can truly have a choice.

We don’t know what’s hiding in her closet.

Given that Democrats have been trying to get rid of her for the past two election cycles, I think we do know her closet is empty.

What is sad is there are some conservatives hoping some skeleton will emerge that will destroy her.

Bachmann is the Anybody But Palin candidate flavor of the month.

A statewide office is quite different than national level even if the Demonrats wanted her defeated. The national media would put a lot more resources into it and they would make something out of what they can find. Her own pitfalls and demonizatin is still waitin for the national level. She is nowhere near Palin level. Palin was Governor of a state and yet a national campaign is a different ballgame. Bachmann is no Palin. You cannot deny Bachmann started off this bashing game with the cheap shots taken at Palin. She’s lost me and many others for that.
