Nice profile in the Weekly Standard. Of course it will be difficult for Bachmann to nab the nomination with little executive experience but I think she resonates with the grass roots in a way Jon Huntsman or Mitt Romney never will. They may have the big donors behind them buy they don't have the grass roots of the party and in 2012 I think it will be very tough to win the nomination without support from the base.

"Palin, who campaigned for Bachmann in 2010, remains a friend."

One doubts the writer knows anything of truth.

The RINO Bachmann hypocritically dispatched
her GOP-killer Rollins to SMEAR Gov. Palin.
And in almost a month since then, RINO Bachmann
has NOT given a public apology or dismissed Rollins.

michele bachmann is NOT “queen of the TEA Party” except by self-proclamation. It is position she coveted and tried to capture, but she never cut it. This is rino, mccain-loving kristol’s mag. Don’t get too happy just yet.

Michele is great gal BUT she ain't the Queen of the Tea Party.

The media is so obvious, so pathetic in its attempt to write all things but Sarah. Sad!

“Palin, who campaigned for Bachmann in 2010”

is WHY the TEA Party supported her. Crap like this ticks me off bigtime and does not endear bachmann to me in any way shape or form..

Once again you use a photo with the McCain Palin signs in the background to somehow tie Bachmann to RINO mitt.

Are you brain damaged or something?

Oh and Palin is the undisputed leader (don’t like “queen” because of the monarchy stuff) of the tea party.

And yet Bachman continues to refuse to criticize RomneyCare during multiple opportunties - can’t do it if she is ‘slotted” to be Mittens’ VP.

If any GOP candidate cannot criticize Romneycare, they can’t criticize Ozerocare.

And a history of working with Tokyo Rove to garner campaign financing is another dagger in MB’s resume.

MB is just another GOP elitist....NO THANKS!!!!!

Too bad that she only has you as her face.

She is doomed because of you.

Romneycare is a problem for one state. I don’t care what Mass. does.

Yet.

Sarah is my top choice, followed by Jim DeMint (also not in the race), then Michele Bachmann, and Herman Cain. We'll see how it plays out over the next year.

It appears Michele Bachmann has become queen of the neocons.

C’mon, cc. There is no Palin name on those signs. Those signs are from when mitt was campaigning for the VP slot for hisself and before Palin was ever on the scene. EVERYBODY thought mitt was gonna be the VP pick then.

Exactly.

In addition to Romney's fake polls, fake badges,
fake endorsements, fake fake fake taxes called "fees",
Milt Romney and Bill Hudak
are now linked to the creation
of several fake 'Tea Party's, including one
which attacked Gov. Palin from Texas in June (see post 11)
.
There is little doubt the other Faux-Romney-TeaParties
will adopt RINOs and ObamaBOTs.
Recognize them by THEIR POSITIONS.

If you cannot see the LOVE IN HER EYES for Romney
then it is YOU who ought get medical attention. Run.

I’d like to see both Palin and DeMint in the race but I don’t think they can afford to screw around for much longer.

I hate these early starts but the train is picking up steam in a hurry with the beltway crowd trying to frontload the race with RINO governors. In fact I think the early start is an intentional aid to the chosen RINOs who are well funded for outlasting the competition.

Various RINOs and their Fellow Travelers make cracks, obvious or veiled, about the Tea Party. Try to win without them!

Maybe you should start a Rumor that she had an affair with Romney. After all if you’re going to behave exactly like a leftist Palin hater toward Bachmann, there’s no reason you should hold back.
