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.

That point is highly debatable, since Rollins made his comments. the general electorate does not seem to mind much. If anything, Bachmann’s 15 point surge one day after the debates pretty much quelled that claim all by itself.

Bachmann’s campaign headquarters is recently swelling with support and donations. And here again, time will tell, so instead of projection, it is more realistic to observe the outcomes.

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

What is wrong with Bachmann or Cain ideologically if Palin decides not to run?

She supports ethanol subsidies and has recieved over 250k in farm subsidies through a family trust for a farm she owns with her family

Source for these lies? Both statements by you are out right fabrications. They have no source in fact.

The farm in question is owned by her in laws. Her family has no connection to it. If you bother to look at her voting record, she has consistently voted AGAINST the farm subsides you claim she is getting.

So want to post your "source" or are you too embarrassed to admit your are regurgitating Huffington Post leftist propaganda as fact here?

Even her fans will notice a difference if she actually runs. I think they are very afraid of Michele.

Michele is a serious woman, she has a wonderful sense of humor too and is very sharp.

She has been on with Laura Ingraham and you cannot help but like her.

I guess Laura will get thrown under the bus now. LOL

I’m satisfied with two and a half of them, and the fraction is Palin.

“I don’t see what the point is in waiting.”
That has been explained to you before.

Cain supported pro-abortion socialist liar Mitt Romney in 2008 and pro-abortion socialist Scott Brown in 2010. He also supported TARP.

Bachmann says she’s pro-life, but supports legislation that doesn’t provide equal protection for all, as the Constitution imperatively requires.

I'm not sure why supporting Palin means trashing Bachmann

Funny, the Bachmann campaign, through Ed Rollins, started the bashing. Nice try at re-writing recent history.

Cain and Santorum aren't being trashed by Palin supporters the way Bachmann is.

Cain and Santorum haven't had any of their high-level campaign consultants bash Palin, you moron. It is truly amazing to watch you turn Bachmann into the victim here.

Palin supported TARP as McCain's VP. Jim DeMint supported Romney in 2008.

Whose left for conservatives to support?

Here is the difference... I do not put any credibility behind these propaganda polls and you would be wise to be cautious in taking them at face value yourself. I will tell you this... nothing any of these candidates do today will matter... 5 minutes after Palin announces.

The leadership vacuum in this country is almost total.

No principled statesmanship, plenty of political gamesmanship.

Which won’t save this republic.

Don’t blame FR for trashing Michelle, it’s just a few Palinophiles doing that. They are getting frantic that their object of worship is still keeping them in the dark, while being eclipsed by a strong, experienced, extremely conservative woman who impresses not just the right, but independents and Reagan Democrats too.

Save your fingers. This guy’s issues with the Governor go back to Alaska and its personal.
