The fight for the Republican Presidential nomination is finally getting underway in earnest, with Texas Governor Rick Perry bull-riding his way into the race and Michele Bachmann winning Saturday's straw poll in Iowa. Both events show how unsettled the GOP contest still is, as voters search for a candidate who can beat a vulnerable President Obama.
Mrs. Bachmann, the Minnesota Congresswoman, has emerged from cable-TV land in recent months to be a viable competitor. She is telegenic, a hard worker, and has planted herself at the front of the tea party parade in hostility to all things Washington. This posture matches the current public mood and helps to explain why she surpassed fellow Minnesotan Tim Pawlenty, who dropped out of the race yesterday despite a far better record of accomplishment as a fiscally conservative two-term Governor of a left-leaning state. Mrs. Bachmann is a canny politician.

Bachmann is just more of a solid conservative...Perry has too many non-conservative issues for me
And, if Perry gets the nomination...all the DNC has to do is say “George Bush III” anytime Perry is mentioned...and Obama gets re-elected
The media has tried to ignore, then attack Bachmann, and she is not going away. She just gets stronger. That is what is neede to beat Obama in 2012
Crow is going to be in high demand.
Bachmann is highly unlikely to make past 3rd in the Primaries, if she stays in that long. She should do the common sense thing and go after Franken and then run from a more winnable base in 16.
In the General, if you’re insistant on not going to vote Perry on any condition, you better hope your anti-nobama option is Mutt or else you’ll be pulling the Big D? Really???
Crow is going to be in high demand am bettin.
You got it.
You sure are full of it my friend. Too bad you actually know so little about what you speak of. Try to have a great Perrista day. Haha.
We shall see. Should I remind your PDS tagteam of this exchange come Spring ‘o 2012?
I can just hear it now, “this Crow tastes just like chicken”.
No problem so long as I can do likewise when your boy doesn’t make it across the finish line either. His troubles haven’t really begun yet but just wait.....
