Bachmann brings nothing to the table. She's a great congresscritter, but should be as far away from the GOP ticket as possible when it's all over.
I agree with your Post #3.
Besides having ZERO executive experience in either the private or the public sector (Obama deja vu all over again), Bachmann does bring something to the table: The specter of Marcus Bachmann with his finger on the Nuclear Button.
Imagine this "Three O'Clock in the Morning" campaign commercial by the Obama camp:
Michele Bachmann asks the American voters to elect her to be one heartbeat away from being Commander-in-Chief and having her finger on the Nuclear Button.
Then, the Obama campaign plays a video tape of Michele Bachmann herself saying that she believes that it is her religious duty to God to be "submissive" to Marcus Bachmann when he tells her to do something, even though she does not want to do it.
The commercial ends with this image:
Marcus Bachmann: Finger on the Nuclear Button by Submissive Religious Proxy
Michele Bachmann would be pure electoral poison on the Presidential ticket.
==================
In this speech at a mega-church in the Minneapolis area back in 2006, Michele Bachmann explained her decision to pursue tax law wasn't her choice. Her husband, Marcus told her "to go and get a post-doctorate degree in tax law." This was not what Michele wanted. ("Tax law? I hate taxes!"), but she was believed that God was speaking through her husband. "Why should I go and do something like that? But the Lord says, 'Be submissive wives; you are to be submissive to your husbands.
==================
She's a great congresscritter, but should be as far away from the GOP ticket as possible when it's all over.
I agree with you 100% and so would the large majority of non-Democrat voters.
The Democrats will be dancing in the streets with joy if Bachmann ends upon the Republican ticket.
