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.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

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

[Bigtigermike]

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

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.

Obviously Michelle Bachmann and Iowa Republicans have Palin Derangement Syndrome.

[11th Commandment]

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

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

Bachmann leading in Iowa?

Good news indeed! Love to see the BDS toadies getting their panties all in a bunch! LOL

Reagan didn’t announce until “November” of 1979. Iowa and NH are the most over-rated primaries in the country!

I hope and pray that Romney gets dumped very early in the process. Iowa and then New Hampshire would take the wind out if his sails.

Love her or hate her, the fact is, Palin will suck a ton of oxygen and attention away from other candidates if she announces.

Personally, I wonder if she would do more good as a non-candidate.

[dools0007world]

None of this has any meaning until Gov. Palin tosses her hat in the ring—or does not.

It’s all just hot air.

[Lexinom]

Very good news!

Let's see what kind of a campaign she can run. The fact she is remaining this strong after being ripped this hard from some in her own party - many who are like children waiting for an imaginary friend - bodes very well for her moving forward. Go Michele!
