Yea, it’s a Bachmann hit piece. But the only reason they can write it is because there is one kernal of truth in it: Bachmann is charisma challenged.

When it comes to working a crowd and chrisma Bachmann isn’t in the same league as Palin or Reagan. Heck, Bachmann makes Romney look almost personable.

I really haven’t seen enough of Perry to make a decision yet, but I have Bachmann. She does not have “it”. Palin has it; Regan had it; I happen to think Cain has it, but Bachmann doesn’t. That, imho, is a problem.

Bachmann is charisma challenged.

I don't know how many times you've seen her in person, but I can guarantee you that she is a forthright, warm and delightful speaker who has had an enthusiastic response from every audience I've heard her address.

BTW, Palin isn't running, will you support a conservative or does slick looks and slick talk sway you more than conservative values?

I agree with your analysis of Bachmann, but what worries me even more are the things being said about her husband’s profession of working to “ungay” people & calling young homosexual men barbarians. Doesn’t sound very much like a Christian to me.

I think you nailed it here. Perry is very charismatic and knows how to work a crowd. He is also a phony, but I suspect he can fool a lot of people.

He is a very talented politician and disciplined campaigner.

Like most politicians, his results don't entirely match his rhetoric, but when it comes to campaigning there's a reason he's never lost.
