Slightly delayed here. Hasn’t bashed her yet.

Ohhh, here he goes. Shoot. Yeah I liked his “I’ll cook you dinner if you can find a Barack Obama Econ plan” though.

He’s not Perfect, but he is no RINO and IMHO he is the only one to beat Obama hands down.....

I like Sarah Palin, but she will not win over Moderate Republicans, Independents or Democrats that are dis-mayed with Obama....

Pawlenty complaining about Bachmann’s lack of “accomplishments”. I’d rather have someone make conservative stance on bills like; Repealing Obamacare, Lightbulb Freedom, etc not raising the debt ceiling, and drilling for oil. then have someone who “compromises” on things like Cap & Trade, Healthcare, debt ceiling raises etc.

She’s doing well...wish she would go after Romney instead of Pawlenty...

Mitt is loving this. The frontrunner is going untouched.....

Chris Wallace is turning this into a Jerry Springer show.

Bachmann taking on Pawlenty and accused him of being more like Obama.

Pawlenty accuses Bachmann of being a liar.
