I'm not so sure where Bachmann floundered along the way....but her desperation began playing out whenever she spoke and continues to. She lost some of her support when she went after Sarah..though some were quick to spin a yarn about that. Clearly she took a shot at Palin.
I was in Sarah's court for quite some time....but like with most there was a gnawing sense that crept up time and again she would not run...and you just couldn't shake it off. It was difficult to be sold out for her but as I saw it the best one out there at the time. Cain doesn't come close IMO and though “likable” the it isn't there for the long haul and folks do see this.
I think hopes were very high someone would run without all the political entailment's...however as this nation nosedived and continues to do so it's become apparent one has to determine what the country needs over what ones personal hopes are otherwise.....I'm for our country first...and it needs an individual who can turn this ship...nobody has the “it” Newt does...and he dumped his so called “baggage” back aways... any remaining just isn't significant to that which he brings to the table to defeat Obama and get us back on track.
But I found many of her vocal pals here obnoxious...and most of them are now Cain folk...not all...a few have gone Newt like us
I criticized Sarah for a few things and started to doubt she would run and was essentially called son of Satan here for that candor by some we are now fighting with for Newt
Its not really surprising. I have come to the same conclusion as you on the it factor
Newt had spoken in more than platitudes about immigration and many here hold to the idea we will deport 20 million folks
It will not happen....something between that and amnesty
They tout Wetback....they should go back study how that went....its not like folks
ks claim
Self deporting is more effective and accounted for 95 percent of the 1M or so who left
