In the primary, I intend to vote for whomever will piss off the MFM the most. I figure anybody who gets their panties in a twist has to be going in the right direction. Right now, it’s Bachmann.

This bodes well for Sarah, since Michelle has been serving as a placeholder for her until the time is right.

ineluctable

No offense to Bachmann but certainly Sarah and maybe even Perry (because he’s a fresh face in the mix) will not be overshadowed by her if they get in. Bachmann is doing very well right now but as someone said “People like Bachmann but they love Sarah”. Star power of Sarah and her massive grassroots is no match for Bachmann in someplace like Iowa

When she's ready. The election is in November 2012 and NOT November 2011.

The time is soon going to be up for Pawlenty to make a decision whether this venture is worth the cost in time and treasure. Unlike Palin, Bachmann or even Paul, he doesn’t have anything resembling a core following. I predict he’ll be the first to bow out.

Whenever she decides the optimal time is.

Reagan didn't declare until November.

If your know more than she does, perhaps you should run.

Obviously Michelle Bachmann and Iowa Republicans have Palin Derangement Syndrome.

How can you make such a conclusion based on a simple, relevant question?

If Mrs. Bachmann signs many more pledges, Chris Wallace's question may become a self-fullfilling prophecy...

One day the beltway insiders and GOP elitists will wake up and realize that Mitt Romeny is “Mr. 20%”.

If the election prospects of your chosen candidate depend upon what Sarah Palin does or does not do, then your chosen candidate is a loser who does not have a snowball’s chance in Hell anyway.

It does not look like efforts to slow her down are working.

I hope Palin gets in soon, before her supporters here completely flip out.

I have no “Chosen Candidate”. I ask the above question because people keep posting the name of Sarah Palin on a Michele Bachmann thread.

Since I observe this, of course the relevant question pops up — when will the announcement be?

If it’s going to be November, so be it. I however wonder where her campaign organization is at this time...

The entire picture is fuzzy at best.

If Bachmann’s intensity is down, how do we explain her LEADING in Iowa ( yep, over Romney too )?

As for Sarah Palin, hey, I’d love for her to be the candidate.... but where’s her campaign presence in Iowa and New Hampshire? Or is she so confident that she’ll win in a heartbeat that she does not see the need to campaign in these two small states?
