Is this a response to that “Is Sarah Palin Michele Bachmann’s Goldwater” idiocy? If so, thanks!!

Sarah Palin will declare, in her own good time. Seems to me MB said something to the effect that"I won't declare until I'm sure Sarah won't", which, when she declared at the debate completely surprised me and several others.

When SP does declare, she will instantly be the 800# gorilla (or is that grizzly) in the room, and MB, if she values her position and wishes any advancement in her future, should immediately withdraw from the race, and claim that she was acting as a John the Baptist for SP.

If she uses her head and does this, she may be the next Speaker, or at least a valuable member of the Palin administration. Otherwise she is toast.

If she does not, there is a strong likelihood that conservatism within the Republican party is finished, and with that so is the party, and if that happens, we get four more years of Obama, complete with a Dem. majority in the Senate, and possibly in the house as well....at best a weak majority there.

Wile another political party might be a very good idea, not yet...patience...wait and plan for the future.

Due to these circumstanced, it isn't too far fetched to see why the left seems to be somewhat confident.

Sorry, but Bachmann is not from the right, but the left.

She was big on Carter-Mondale, and has been a part of numerous leftist overtures in her legislative career in Minnesota.

Were she a conservative, she would be attacking the liberal Romney, rather than playing footsie.

Bachmann destroys, rather than building.
