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.

One really does our candiate (Sarah) very little good by bashing other good candidates (Bachmann). In fact were I interested in sinking Sarah's campaign I would pretend to be a supporter and bash Backmann or Cain or Paul. Hell I might just as well bash them all just to leave no ground uncovered :)
FYI I am a Sarah supporter which is why I don't bash the others, well not a lot, I just promote my choice.

I think Bachmann feels that has changed since she announced.
The reason for Republicans sudden change of heart is for this reason (in Bachmann`s mind).....
The fact that MB fostered 23 children over a 6 year period some time ago, and the fact that MB has wrangled the endorsements of The NY Times,Wash Post and the entire CNN/MSNBC networks, was really what has put her over the top.
For me, I would have to say it was endorsements from NY Times and MSNBC host Rachel Maddow....HEAVY SARCASM

What's wrong with what she said? That does not mean that there is room for improvement.
She is right. This current field is volumes better than what we had in ‘08 and can only get better.

Talk about out of touch with real Americans...cmon Michelle, really?That's Ed Rollins talking.
Lies, spin, exaggeration, denial.
She used to be a believable candidate, but she killed her campaign with one stupid executive decision, hiring a political hack like Rollins to be her front man. Now she's starting to sound like a political hack herself.

It's almost ignorant that most of them proclaim Reagan and what he stood for so religiously, and then go out of their way to completely disgrace every civil Principle that meant so much to Reagan, as well as was a key factor for why Reagan appealed to such a broad spectrum of voters.
They seem to think that “Divide, isolate and remain exclusive” until victory is achieved, is the only way to go. It lends thought to what Reagan meant by his 11th commandment. They obviously do not understand it.

I don’t think Bachmann has officially declared either. Rollins was out the morning after the debate saying Bachmann would declare in Waterloo, Iowa just like she earlier said she would. Maybe we all need to look at that debate transcript to see what was actually said by Congressman Bachmann.

She’s filed her paperwork with the FEC. She’s officially in.

Since I support Sarah, I’m not “very” satisfied with the current candidates. Does Bachmann really think that Romney is a “very” satisfactory candidate? If so, I have to question her judgment.

It's funny, but without reading who posted this, I thought for sure you were referring to the Bachmann/Rollins tag team and furthermore, the various PDS posters here on FreeRepublic.
The dissension that is attempted by the type of creep that Rollins is and by PDS posters is one and the same.
Deplorable!

And Reagan used to be a Democrat.
I see where this is going. Now that Bachmann is a threat to Queen Sarah, FR must destroy her, too.

No Michele, right now we have a self-financing socialist, and a plethora of others, some good, who don’t have the star power to topple the RINO. Nor do those good candidates have the political executive experience to knock heads together when necessary. There IS *someone* waiting in the wings who WILL complete the field and satisfy the voters. We’re trying to be patient awaiting the announcement. Bob

From Wikipedia:
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota began a campaign for the 2012 Republican Party nomination for president of the United States in June 2011. Bachmann filed her organization with the Federal Elections Commission as an official campaign, skipping the exploratory committee process, and announced she was officially running for president during the CNN Republican primary debate held June 13, 2011.[1]

Michele stood silently when HER manager, Ed Rollins, called Sarah “not serious” and a quitter. The guy is a buffoon, and Michele stands behind him. Bob

This is getting pathetic. Why anyone who threatens Queen Sarah (who is probably going to announce next week that she’s NOT running, because if she were she’d wait till the end of July) is destroyed by FR.

“Republicans” may be satisfied. Conservatives? Not so much.

Rollins is a douche, but that doesn’t make Bachmann a horrible person all of a sudden.
Did Palin lose her cred when she endorsed McCain’s re-election?

Okay. Thanks. I guess Rollins was wrong. Maybe she just changed her mind on that Waterloo, Iowa announcement thing.
