The woman is on her way and could win, but we have the back stabbing by some conservatives and their Rove friends and the media.

There is a small possibility, after the AMAZING way Bachman has been going after Dear Leader, that the press may actually PREFER a Palin win.

I am holding firm that I believe it will be Palin/Bachman, and they will win in a landslide

I think Obammy may even toss Biden under the bus for hilLIARy to try to beat that all-female ticket.

Bachmann will never head the ticket.It will be Perry or Christie.
Bachmann or Pawlenty have a shot at #2.

Interesting how many of the MSM polls simply ignore Cain. In polls where he is mentioned he’s running ahead of many of the other candidates who get prominent mention.

So the argument of this article is that Palin could win as long as neither Palin nor Perry enters the race.

Christie is not running, so there is no reason to speculate

I think Perry will win the nom, and either Pawlentty or Rubio will be Veep.

Christie won’t run.

Bachmann is peaking too early. She’ll fade, possibly gaffe her way out of the nomination.

Bachmann can win as long as Palin does not run, then it's a 50 state landslide in the general for the Governor, why because PalinBot Freepers in their underwear said so.

I am such a hater..snark

Not to mention the RINO National Committee! Unless a crisis arrives before the election, they will probably toss us another Bush! See my tag line.

That’s because they are racist~!

(we have to use that on ANY liberal who says one single bad word about cain)

If it is not Palin/Bachman- my next choice is Bachman/Cain

**************************

Of the announced candidates he is my preference, followed by Bachmann. I would be willing (today) to support either, but neither is my choice. THAT said, both of them are better than any of our choices in ‘08, IMO.

As early as it is, the Republican Party's internal "establishment" primary is almost over. Only two candidates are now competing for that nod: former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman -- who most recently served as Obama's ambassador to China.

Huntsman is going nowhere because he's been nowhere. Mitt is not getting much traction. But I don't see the RINO establishment giving up that easily. There is already talk of Rooty joining the race. If not Rooty, then they will bring out Mitch Daniels, Rick Perry or some other milquetoast whom they think they can more easily control.

If T-Paw finishes third in Iowa, he's done. He may not even make it that far. His only compelling qualification is that he's from a potentially winnable liberal state.

I see, so anyone with any legitimate concern about Bachman is a “Rove friend” or part of the media?

No Conservative Republican can on their disapprove of some aspect of Ms. Bachman or some policy position of hers?

Sounds to me like a recipe to suspend thinking and simply accept the political-celebrity PR put out by the pro-Bachman camp.

For myself, I am neither pro-Bachman or anti-Bachman at this point; but the idea that Conservatives themselves cannot disagree on Bachman unless they are owned by “Rove” or the “Media” is just plain dumb.

Rudy would draw from Mit. It would probably be good to split the RINO vote between them.
