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 guess Rollins still has plans for her to announce again in Waterloo, from the report posted above.

That may be another one of many false rumors. On another thread, even Palin was unaware of this “announcement”.

I have not seen any further confirmation that supports either rumor. Which sums up Palin’s entire campaign to date. Lots of secrecy, indecision, mystery and non confirmation.

Before long this will really start to anger people from all sides. Anyone who believes this will enhance her popularity, must belong in another Galaxy somewhere.

Of course not. The excuse wagon always rolls into town regarding Palin’s faux pas.

Michele could have apologized for Rollins’ juvenile remark, but didn’t. Sarah never attacked Hayworth while endorsing McCain.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but it sure did matter to me. That, and several other key issues and incidents that give cause for alarm.

OK, so we know there’s another R completely out of touch with the base.

You know, Limbaugh was right about one thing, the opposition always tells you who they are most afraid of. The Palin camp must be terrified of Michele. She is pretty, great education, genuine conservative, great on policy.

I can understand the fear and need to destroy her. When you don’t feel you can compete in the arena, destroy all opposition. LOL

FR doesn’t have the ability to destroy anyone. It just a place where people discuss their thoughts. I don’t understand why you are so defensive about Bachmann. Why accuse Bachmann doubters of feeling threatened? Gov. Palin, who was actually on the ticket as the VP candidate on 2008, has been microscoped and vilified by everyone in the media, the opposition, and even her own party, and every time somebody points out Bachmann’s negatives, they are accused of trying to “destroy” her.

She has already picked up some of romney's bad habits... like assuming to speak for all of us... but that is only in her own mind. I am disgusted with the lineup as of today... and each time one of them speaks... I grow even more dissatisfied.

Palin is the Fred Thompson of 2012. She will toy with running and if she does eventually declare, she won’t gain traction for waiting too long.

It's also obvious how Perry is now in the RINO “slaughter house” here. Both have endorsements of support from Palin. And there is a possibility with them firmly established as strong candidates that Palin will say she cannot enter because it will detract from them.

My prediction is just that. She will declare her “undying” support for them both and join their campaigns, stumping for them. Which is not a bad thing. It would be very good for Palin’s career and future options.

For her to enter, would greatly fragment the Tea Party as well as divide a large number of different factions. Rasmussen's recent poll, is quite obvious in regards to this possibility.

Hot Air is one and the same as FR. Almost to a “T”.

She is doing a very good job all by herself.

I guess. Looked to me like the amended report just added the website. With Rollins in charge, who can figure out what’s going on?

I’ve seen Rick Santorum’s and Herman Cain’s negatives discussed many times. Both of them are more formidable competitors to Governor Palin than Congressman Bachmann.
