It is weird that Bachmann supporters are flocking to Romney.
Perhaps instead of the anti-Romney vote, this is now about the anti-Perry vote.
I don’t think they are flocking to Romney so much as they left MB and didn’t go to a weakened Perry - so for right now they just “parked” themselves in a safe front running spot while they re assess.
Time will tell.
You have to wonder about the over sized ego of just about anyone who runs for president, but that’s maybe what makes a president. I believe Bachman enjoyed such great early numbers that naturally, before she walks away, she wanted to throw the sink at Perrry to try for a come back. Ego. She now needs to be worried about Romney. Let’s see if she dings him.
The political class on both sides of the aisle want Romney, and they want us to convince ourselves that only he can beat Obama. That’s the game. To divide us and make us reject Perry on those grounds. This will be tough.
Romney can go the distance on the backs of the RINOS and probably a lot of democrats. Perry has been dinged, is not yet well known, and has a couple of controversial stances that are at odds with the conservative base, but if he can hold on and stay up on Romney in the south, he has a good chance to stay competitive as the primaries move north and he becomes better known. I sure don’t want Romney.
