So far as I have seen, Congresswoman Bachman is very good at getting herself before the cameras and the microphones. However, I have not seen any summary or analysis of her legislative achievements. I know her biography is interesting, but I have never seen any particular focus on her leadership abilities. My big question about her is whether she is simply good at attaching herself to important issues of the day, or whether she has any skill at shaping, defining and dealing effectively with those issues. Incidently, she is not the only one of the potential Republican nominees about whom I have this concern.

The left in Canada are going to have a difficult time smearing her, as nobody up here even knows who she is. I imagine somewhat the same for a lot of lefties down there too eh?

I’d love to see Bachmann-Palin Overdrive running in 2012, love to see the left all over N. America start eating their own faces.

one again the strategist don’t know nothing. Palin have said this many times, she is waiting for other candidates to announce first and decide whether she will support/or run herself based on those candidates. She also said she won’t be making this decision for months.

Once again the establishment and media are trying very hard to convince her not to run

[throwback]

I'm getting more partial to Bachmann especially after I saw Sarah remark on Libya. She missed that one by a mile.

Palin/Rubio 2012

Can not lose on that ticket. Would most definitely pick up the hispanic vote. Is that racial pandering? Why, of course, but if THEY can do it, then why not us? The difference is, it’s not just for race, Rubio is awesome and a true conservative.

Ryan for Secretary of Treasury

West for Secretary of Defense

Bachman for Secretary of State (yeah baby)

New blood, new future for America, new Hope.

the only “vacuum” would be media created

If Sarah decides to run you can reverse the names in the title.

The first 2 paragraphs explains it all.

It’s kind of pathetic the “woman candidate” can be Palin or it can be Bachmann .. as if we can have only one woman running. Why not Bachman vs Pawlenty or Daniels or Palin vs Romney or Huckabee? It’s like filling the ‘black seat’ on the Supreme Court. Rather insulting, imo.

[Carry_Okie]

I've listened to both. Bachman is far superior.

Bolton is better prepared than either.

I vote for Julianna Marguiles to play Michele when HBO does the hack-job mini series about her run for the WH.

No sitting member in the House of Representatives has been elected directly to the presidency in well over a hundred years.

After Obama I thought I had had enough of black presidents to last me the next 100 years. I have heard West and Cain talking on TV and like some of the things they say. Still have not made my mind up yet, waiting to hear a few more runners open up and say what they really stand for.
