Say what you will about Mitt Romney and how truly meaningless the IA Straw Poll is other than as a winnowing tool, but calling MB to congratulate her is a lot classier than telling some MSM reporter that MB’s win was no big surprise (which it wasn’t). Sorry, but that’s just tacky.

Why is the truth suddenly tacky?

And a conman calling to congratulate somehow classy?

So a serial liar, complete finger-in-the-wind, fake conservative calling somebody can be taken on face value?

And how do you know Governor Palin didn't call Bachmann as well?

You can always tell when someone suffers from an acute case of PDS; they always run to the most negative possible spin on any of Palin's action because they have an agenda, one they won't be honest about, but an agenda nonetheless.

Call me cynical (because I am), but Mitt Romney calling to Michelle Bachmann to congratulate her, is almost condescending, its also presumptuous but its clear he is acting very much like a front runner.........Its also slick, in that it gives the image that he wants, where he, the front runner, called the presumed upstart, and pretends to take the high road, kudos on strategy, but I don't like it.

As for Palin, I have no idea what the context was off this comment, and what she else she said, while many are defending her, or attacking her, to me, there is to little information for me to do either, the media has a tendency to chop her comments in a way to portray her in the worst light possible, and also is attempting to make this into some kind of "cat fight". I won't attack her or defend her comments here, but I will give her the benefit of the doubt after having seen so many of her comments taken out of context to manipulate public opinion regarding her.

So should everyone who isn't a candidate call MB to congratulate her, or just the ones you despise?...Did Perry call?

She was asked a question about it. She didn’t volunteer it out of the blue and unless you heard her you can’t really say whether it was tacky or not. You’d first have to know the actual question (and the tone of Palin’s answer). For instance, “Were you surprised at Michelle Bachmann’s win?” and “No I wasn’t surprised” is pretty innocuous.

Were she to not answer the question someone would be making hay out of that as well. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Who said Mitt calling MB to congratulate her wasn't classy? I didn't.

Who immediately seized upon the oppportunity to offer an opinion about Gov. Palin's "tackiness". You did.

Lighten up...LOL.

How do we know that Sarah DIDN'T call Michelle? I haven't heard, either way. Sarah isn't a declared candidate for President, and wasn't a participant in the Straw Poll. Even though Mitt wasn't there to garner votes in the Straw Poll, he IS a declared candidate, so it was nice for him to call his opponent, Michelle.
