God Bless Sarah and her family. I hope they make a decision to run. I will work harder than I have ever for any candidate. She is my choice. CAN NOT wrap my arms around Michelle, sorry folks....
The GOP is going to call their cave in “The Grand Bargain”. Palin will not announce until after The Grand Bargain and then come out against it.
The Establishment press sees Bachman as much more easily defeated by 0bamao than Palin or even the other valid Pubbie contenders, ergo their feigned support for Bachman.
Why do you seem so worried?
I doubt a movie that people have to pay to see in a few venues will change much. Who pays to watch campaign ads?
If people aren’t already sold, the only thing that could change opinions is the actual candidate, or non candidate, answering the questions people have.
Perry and Palin both would trounce Obama. We’re talking Reagan sized landslides.
My first choice is Perry. : -)
MSM + Palin vs Bachmann = Divide and conquer.
The LSM knows that, based on historical precedent, Bachmann has a very low probability of winning. I admire Michele Bachmann very much, but when is the last time (without Googling it) that a sitting member of the House of Representatives was elected President from the Republican Party? Yes, “past results are no guarantee of future performance”, but they are playing the odds, pretending to encourage a candidate they truly believe has no chance of winning vs. one that does. Don’t fall for it.
Perry is the Establishment’s next bulwark against Palin.
They’re already positioning him for that now.
I believe Bachmann would at least beat 0bama.
Anyone that takes the Reagan approach of actually blaming the incumbent for the present situation will win.
And to win the primary, all the candidate has to show is a willingness to be called a “racist” for criticizing 0bama.
Both Bachmann and Palin would be acceptable candidates.
So would Cain and Santorum.
I think this line of attack is BS - Perry is portrayed as way too southern, too texan, and too conservative by the RINO’s and the MSM. They make him out to be a lunatic.
Perry and establishment don’t belong in the same sentence.
Bachmann would be left shredded and vaporized the second she wasn’t being helpful to the Dems/Establishment. She’s the easiest target they’ve seen to tear down in quite some time.
What is “The Grand Bargain”?
That tells you everything you need to know.
His style doesn’t fit their taste at all, and he is far from their first choice. But he’s sure been a play-along globalist type who would suit them far better than the reformist Palin.
That is what they will call the deal to keep borrowing. It will have Tax Hikes that are not called tax hikes and various other nefarious deals to keep the Ponzi afloat a while longer.
I thought I had detected a wind shift towards Bachman, it was surreal like oh all of sudden she ain’t so bad. She cannot win, she would be made out to be a freak, she hasn’t been vetted.
