I watched Rep. Bachmann and I have been watching her for a while. I still see her diverting all the questions back to a couple of rehearsed sound bite answers. To the extent that she moves the question to her comfort zone and doesn’t get rattled like she has in the past, I guess she gave a good interview.
Bachmann is learning the lesson of all successful political candidates—stay on message. I am just starting to listen to her MTP interview.
All successful GOP candidates do that. Failed candidates allow the Leftist media to define the terms of debate. Do that and you will lose.
The Palin supporters, like the Perry supporters, would be wise to drop this trash talk the other candidate tactics.
As Pawlenty learned this week, Republican voters are not interested in the least in fighting with their allies. We all know who the real enemies are and don't take kindly to those who do the Dems PR work for them.
Trash talking the other candidate then going to their supporters later asking them to support your candidate is a sure fail strategy. The way to win the Republicans and Conservatives voters is to tell them why YOUR candidate should be chosen.
