How Bachmann Can Defeat Obama (And how she can seize this moment as a Tea Party Conservative)

[Rudder]

Bachmann’s finished.

[TexasFreeper2009]

The only one Bachmann can and should beat are whoever her makeup and hair style person is, and whoever gave her the advice to constantly attack everything making everyone hate her guts

[Jukeman]

For all her conservative accolades, Bachmann bothers me. Maybe it’s the lawyer in her.

[cripplecreek]

Voting for her or Santorum anyway. The Cain lynching has handed my state to Romney so I’ll vote for one of them in the primary and write in in the general if need be.

[Not A Snowbird]

Not after last night. She’s done.

[Psalm 73]

Michele Bachmann is a mama grizzly - I would rather be supporting Sarah Palin, but Michelle embodies the same pit-bull underdog spirit.

[Utmost Certainty]

I liked Bachmann alright when she was actually doing her job in the House (gee, what happened to that?). Now, because of the way she’s carried herself as a candidate in the primaries, she’s dead to me.

[Batman11]

Four things come to mind:

1. She is conservative.
2. She is Palin Lite.
3. She cannot win the Primary and could never beat Zero in the General.
4. She is annoying.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Correct, Bachmann is so done and this backfired on her so badly, that she will be lucky to make it to the first primary. She looked like a nasty, snotty little school girl, heckling a College Dean, against Newt last night.

[lovecraft]

She came off as shrill and whiny to me. The "I'm a serious candidate" line while she's trying to paint Newt as a baby killing monster was over the top for me. I was never that impressed to begin with but that performance totally wrote her off consideration for my wife and I.

Just my two cents.

[Nonstatist]

Would you really want that shrew as President? IMO, she’s just barking at the wind at this point.

[Cobra64]

I agree. I was a Bachmann supporter early on until she began bashing Palin and then just about everyone else.

Her performance last night was horrible. I'm surprised she didn't yell at the audience applauding the other candidates as "Paulbots." "Nooters," "Mythens," "Insantorum," Perrybots," etc. the way we see here on FR childishly calling them idiots and morons who's not their favorite candidate.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

The community organizer's "teachable moment" is coming...

[marshmallow]

She’s in single digits in Iowa. Not a good position from which to sweep into the White House.

[Kahuna]

MB=toast w/fake eyelashes

[Not A Snowbird]

Me too.

She has strong conservative positions, but I’ve come to dislike her on a personal level. She’s trying to come across as tough, but she’s overplaying it. You can be tough without sounding shrill and hysterical, but she hasn’t figured out how to do that yet.

[Jukeman]

Conservative as a congresswoman, yes. She annoys the hell out of me with her “I am the only one” crap. Se did not write the book on conservatism. That person was Barry Goldwater. She may not even win re-election to congress and much less the presidency. She should drop out out shut the hell up. She is no Sarah Palin - just a screeching magpie. No Ideas - just an wild eyed attacker. Obama would defeat her in a landslide. Mark my words.

[Sudetenland]

Bachmann is a nasty piece of work. She has proven herself more than willing to lie. She is always attacking someone else. She is always talking about the 3000 kids she has raised. She is always telling us how she led the fight against Obama's (fill in the blank) legislation (somehow she has never been successful at it).

She's a loser.

[org.whodat]

Bachmann has a fifty fifty chance of winning Iowa, just read the posts of fear here and you can feel it.
