Bachmann had a good chance, but she messed up by 1) hiring Rollins, 2) not immediately firing Rollins, 3) going after Perry on Gardasil in the debates instead of going after Romney on Romneycare.
If Bachmann hadn’t mess up her strategy she would’ve been the frontrunner (given the fact that Palin chose not to run), and would beat both Romney and Obama.
(If Palin ran, she would’ve won in a landslide of Reagan proportions. The moderates who wouldn’t vote for a female candidate because of her pro-life stance wouldn’t vote for a pro-life male candidate either.)
It looked to me in the debates that in time that Bachmann was naturally diminished in debates
I do not think it has been by accident or oppression there have been so few great women leaders in history but im willing to give a conservative one a shot and my support...already did...but she didnt run did she and now we’ll never know how she woulda held up in the debates
Women are much louder today...no question but how much smarter or effective is debatable
My own view is that overall women empowerment since the 60s has been very negative for our sides results wise
However....given the sorry state of modern educated white males...i sure cannot blame women for their stridency
So few men they can count on any longer
Mommies on the soccer field should be a felony....it all started there and t-ball
