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.
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.
Both Bachmann and Palin would be acceptable candidates.
So would Cain and Santorum.
That tells you everything you need to know.
Bachmann got to where she is by having been an “ACTIVIST”! - with a very specific ‘interest’ driven agenda. (on issues, by the way, that I personally agree with).
HOWEVER, that being said, PALIN’s background is much different than BACHMANN’s - and this is why PALIN has a stronger and deeper support level than Bachmann.
PALIN’ accomplishments and 20 year political career is NOT based on having been an activist for specific conservative issues, but by running on behalf of the “PEOPLE’S INTEREST” (see her run for MAYOR, and her run for GOVERNOR).
This is plain simple reason and the REAL STORY behind the DIFFERENCE between PALIN vs. BACHMANN!
They both may share the same political philosophy, but that is where the meaningful comparisons stop.
BACHMANN is NO Palin by any stretch of the imagination!
I really don’t get all of this handwringing.
If Bachmann is the GOP nominee then I will vote for her.
Ditto Palin.
I’ll only have to choose between the two if they are both on my GOP Primary ballot.
That is a long way from happening.
I think I’ll continue relaxing for a while.
When Sarah gets in it’s over for MB’s campaign.
I think the PDS starts with some Palin supporters. They want her to run so badly but she hasn’t announced yet and it’s driving them nuts. So they take their frustration out on Michele Bachmann who has announced.

They hate Bachmann on twitter. They’re sure Marcus is gay on youtube.
The MSM knows that Bachmann is toast. Completely non viable.
Laughable joke as the Presidential nominee.
Palin herself RT the tammy bruce “look under their beds” comment. It appears that Palin was talking about Marcus. Palin knows that there’s blood in the water, even if conservatives don’t know it.
Palin won’t be tricked by this fake stuff.
This isn’t news, it’s your personal bullshit!
Of course, once he says no, you'll accuse Bozell of being in the back pocket of Mitt Romney and will refuse to believe him.
The reality here is the media is no more or less guilty of distorting reality than those that ignore the media is and will continue to try to destroy Bachmann. Those with agendas never look at facts objectively.
The LSM should be careful what it wishes for. It might come true.
Indeed, the obvious strategy is for Democrats and liberal GOP strategists to praise Bachmann to the hilt NOW, and pretend that they fear her, so maybe Sarah will think that there is already a good, strong candidate in the race, so there is little point to her candidacy.
I think that Sarah has decided to run, but I predict that Michele’s candidacy will collapse faster than Donald Trump’s, when she becomes expendable. Michele does not express herself half as well as Sarah, is often careless in expressing herself and has never been under intense national fire. She will NOTTT be the nominee; in fact, she will be paving the way for a Milt Romney coronation, unless she takes a dive quickly. Maybe her quest is really a VP slot. I like Michele, but when I hear her speak, I like what she says but she is not in the Presidential league. Bob
I believe if SP and MB are truly for a traditional Constitutional government, and I believe each sincerely is, they will come together and blow away all the attempts to make each other or one another otherwise. Together they could really make havoc for any backstabbers in RINO land or demo land.
