“Huntsman trails the field with 2 percent.”

Why is this guy even mentioned? He is a non factor.

“He’s a real Nowhere Man, Sitting in his Nowhere Land, Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.”

LENNON, JOHN WINSTON / MCCARTNEY, PAUL JAMES

No they are in La la land and just agreeing with rove and thus pushing the media agenda to reelect Obummer. It is late, time to get the show on the road and kick ass.

Yeah, sorry, I did mean Bachmann—too bad there’s no edit feature here!

The Establishment is ready to suck it up and back Perry, sold as a rock-ribbed conservative.

She's the ideological flip side of the same experience coin as Obama: lawyer, no meaningful legislative accomplishment, no executive experience.

Bachmann is a gift to the Obamas: his reelection.

“No they are in La la land and just agreeing with rove and thus pushing the media agenda”

No; they might just be able to think independently and not feel obliged to follow the herd.

Many who think Bachman might not be “the one” know nothing about what Rove’s position is and do not listen or follow the media. Your idea that everything not rushing to approve of Bachman is part of some conspiracy only puts you in the “tin foil hat” class.

To my mind it makes you more a populist than a Conservative.

The two front runners, Willard are Bachmann, which one do you wish.

Rooty only gets in if it is clear the RINO establishment will be backing him over Mitt. I happen to agree with post #24-- they will end up recruiting the establishment RINO who is the least objectionable to conservatives. Probably Perry. Maybe Daniels.

Even if the conservative wing of the party gains the nomination, they will be forced to pick a RINO for VP. Otherwise the RINO establishment will sabotage and ensure BO's re-election. That's how they operate.

Until the enemedia's credibility is totally destroyed, we have to deal with it.

I’d take Christine O’Donnell, right now, over Bachmann. I like the both of them, and I’m familiar with both bios.

Here’s a Bachmann quiz for you. Less than 12 years ago, in 1999, Bachmann ran for office. What job did she have at the time, what office did she run for, and what was the result?

Perry is 100% Globalist Establishment. No reason why they wouldn’t push him. And they’re pretending he’s tea party, and that pisses me off.

Neither Chrisite or Bachmann can win he republican nomination. One is a leftist and the other is an empty suit and a creation of the establishment who will let the wind out of her sails after she has served their purposes.

Christie isn’t running. Bachmann isn’t a creation of the establishment. She’s Palin #2. Conservatives do like pretty women saying conservative things. I do like Bachmann. But take a close look at her record. It’s not a “Presidential” record.

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

You might be right. I used to want that ticket, but now I think I want Palin/West or Palin/McCotter.

US Representative McCotter could help carry Michigan and he's one sharp and smart guy!

Just imagine him or West in a debate with gaffe machine Biden. Imagine either one of those two men on the campaing trail, particularly West!!!

Both West and McCotter are solid and articulate.

What does Bachmann offer to Sarah Palin in terms of attracting voters Sarah won't attract on her own?

The idea is to win.

Palin/West

You think the libs blew a gasket with Dick Cheney of Bush/Cheney, think what would happen with Alan West of Palin/West.

That's the ticket I hope will happen.
I would be great for the country and also great entertainment :^)

Sorry, but Palin or Bachmann as nominee will look a lot like the Sharron Angle / Harry Reid race.
uphill battle, lots of muck, v biased media, and independents who will not flock to our ticket.

The PubTEASLibertars should be able , no matter who he, she is, to win the South, the MW except for a state , a NE state or maybe two and the SW. If that adds up to 273, then the choices Pubs make for the team could do it no matter if the estab. person is on the team or not . My guess is, a conserv and an establ. duo will be the team. But, who knows this far out from 2012?

You could also say that Romney is peaking too early.
