1. She's not Sarah Palin;
2. She's not supposed to be running for president, Sarah Palin is.
These days many Palin supporters will trash anyone who have even the slimmest chance of either keeping her from running or getting the nomination instead of her. But as I've also said if Palin had jumped in most likely Bachmann would not be running and Perry wouldn't be thinking about running. As long as she stays out others will jump in. They're not going to wait to see what she does.
The questions of Bachmann began when she hired CNN political analyst Ed Rollins, a guy who has been earning a paycheck for personally insulting Palin for at least the past year I remember.
Unless a leopard does indeed change it's spots, Rollins will make other questionable statements soon.
As another example you're wrong, I don't see Palin supporters critical of Herman Cain.
With all the political talent out there, why Bachmann hired this guy remains an unanswered mystery to me, though I have my suspicions.
