That's a great picture of Palin and Bachmann together. I understand that Palin is not discouraging Bachmann from running. In fact, I've heard that it was Sarah who recommended that Michele compliment New Hampshire on being the home to Lexington and Concord.

They'd both make fine candidates, but I'm committed to Palin as a first choice.

Congresswoman Bachmann is my second preference. I was disappointed however in the statement by “someone close to Mrs. Bachmann” that she was going to form an exploratory committee. Somebody on her staff has a big mouth. Maybe that is the way things are done on the House but in my opinion that reflects a lack of organizational discipline. She should be making the announcement not floating some trial balloon.

Me too. Now wouldn't Palin-Bachmann Overdrive be a dynamite duo? Wish 'We the People' could do the nominating. . . The whole Republican convention thing always seems like back room smoke and mirrors and voila' they 'announce' whom 'they' have chosen. . . kind of like the Vatican and a new Pope. Maybe we can have more input next year!
