Bachmann pal: She's 'leaning' toward presidential run
Politico ^ | 3/11/11 | Juana Summers

Michele Bachmann may be getting serious about jumping into the White House race. Continue Reading

"She is leaning more toward doing it," a Republican close to Bachmann told CNN. "The people she's meeting on the ground, they love her. She is definitely more encouraged when she makes these trips."

While she's laying her ground game in early states, Bachmann advisers are keeping quiet on her organizational structure or political outreach.

"If the congresswoman decides to do run, she is going to do it her way, and her way has never been the establishment way," Andy Parrish, Bachmann's chief of staff, said.

While officially, there's no comment, the Republican source told CNN that a potential Bachmann for president campaign would put Obama's grassroots shop to shame.

I adore Bachmann, but something tells me someone is putting her up to this. I think she will go nowhere.......

Serious mistake.

She'd be great, but she's not going to get the traction she needs now, and that'll cause problems in the future. Running from the House isn't an easy thing to do.

Good for her.

She has courage. She has grit.

That would make things very, very interesting.

I think she’s leaving tire tracks over the RINOs backs wherever she goes.

I favor Bachmann over Palin any day of the week.

But if Bachmann doesn't make it, I'm still rallying behind Sarah.

Great, "Mini-Palin" deserves a Mini-font.

Why settle for Bacnman when you can have the real thing...

PALIN 2012

"I favor Bachmann over Palin any day of the week."

Me too...I just think she's sharper, but also more electable. Wouldn't mind seeing her on the ticket as a running mate either though. Either way, we MUST put out the best possible team for 2012.

So today, Politico, CNN and an unnamed “republican” source are credible. Check.

Bachmann is not ready for prime time.

Palin, OTOH, is a seasoned campaigner, has managed a large state, and is raring to go!

she’s also been thoroughly “vetted”. I don’t think it possible for there to be any october surprises pulled on her

There was also a time when 1 term senators/community organizers didn’t get elected either... stranger things have happened.
