Poll: Bachmann surges to primary lead
washingtontimes.com/Inside Politics ^ | June 21, 2011 | Stephen Dinan

Fresh off her well-received performance in last week's GOP presidential debate, Rep. Michele Bachmann now tops the field of candidates in a new Zogby poll of Republican primary voters.

The poll found Mrs. Bachmann garnering 24 percent of the vote, well-ahead of businessman Herman Cain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who each received 15 percent support.

I think you can answer that one......

The reasons congresscritters don't win haven't changed, and won't any time soon.

Better invest in Depends, bedwetter. It is going to get a lot worse than this.

Ping me when a stalker moves in next door to Mr. and Mrs. B.

Being the “concerned” critic that you are, about Congress members having low election probability, then you should really be concerned about losing VP candidates. Their record of losing is even more dire than that of Representatives.

Don't worry, Palin’s old running mate and “friend” John McCain will step up and campaign for her, like she did for him, since they both see eye-to-eye on several issues. Which should help cancel out the “losing VP” stigma.

First off; I know your bot squad team must have taught you to call all not fawning over someone not running a RINO but it just sounds stupid, just like a DUmmy. Your comment about me supporting/liking RomneyCare is confoundedly unintelligent as well.

I think a link to FREEREPUBLIC and Boston Herald is quite valid. You may want to fully realize: that, by calling someone supporting tea party candidates RINO's it does not favor you nor your Bot Squad. It just looks sadly pathetic. On page ONE of this thread in big black bold letters I noted this poll meant Bye bye Obamaney RomneyCare.Why can't you be happy for Bachmann and still have a groupie Palin love?

Um, without much thinking, Nixon and HW Bush were both elected within the past generation.

Back to the drawing board PSYCHO. Name the one rep who won and what century that was....

Dumb as posts you cultists.

John Quincy Adams from 1829 to 1833.
Abraham Lincoln from 1861 to 1865.
Gerald Ford became President after being appointed
Vice President. he served from 1974 to 1977. But failed to win the Presidency after he ran on his own accord.

My fault, I failed to mention the most important part of the stigma stated, that no VP candidate, who has lost a prior election has ever won the Presidency.

Nixon lost his first bid against Kennedy, coming directly from the VP spot, and won later after having been removed from that stigma. So your claim about Nixon is false.

Lakeshark won’t care they picked one thing to harp over and over and some bots have actually stated Palin is more qualified than anyone anytime anywhere. They even bashed West lacking experience over Palin. I like Palin but they are drunk on her kool-aid.

Only big government types like yourself believe driving is a privilege, not a right. And I don’t give a rat’s ass about Bachmann criticizing Romneycare or not. Using that as a litmus test for a candidate is idiotic, and clearly shows you have an agenda in your lame attempts to undercut a good conservative candidate. Give David Axelrod my regards troll.

Exactly my point. Nothing that would come close to being qualified to be President.

Put down the “sippy cup” and tell me where it says in the Constitution, exactly what the requirements are to be elected President.

Looking at Abraham Lincoln's prior history, you would have certainly disqualified him as a candidate, based on your “criteria”.

“So far the only polls that show MB rising is Rasmussen and Zogby. Ras was only able to get a rise at all out of MB was to not include Palin in the same poll...as he did.”

A) Sarah Palin is not in the race.

B) I don’t support several candidates in this race but I do not spend my time going to positive threads about them and tearing them down to their supporters.

C) I do give you credit for being honest enough (with your tagline) to openly declare your support for a candidate before you start flinging your poo at another, that shows character and I respect that that.

I don’t care about Lincoln. This is 2011. We have an incompetent idiot in the White House and we can’t afford another one. We need someone who has a record of actions, not just words. Someone who did, instead of going to. Someone who knows how to cut a budget. Someone who has dealt first hand with big oil and won. Someone who knows the energy industry like the back of her hand. Someone who has and will continue to fight corruption, in both parties. Someone who can put their record up against anyone else’s in the race.

Speaking of having Mitt Romney ties...

Bristol Palin's book was co-authored by Evangelicals For Mitt Nancy- French
