I take back what I said about Bachmann and polls. She is actually leading in polls of conservatives but I still don’t think she is going to run or can win. She also doesn’t have an exploratory committee and I think she wants to stick around in Congress longer at her current job.
P.S. people might take my comments here as overly cynical/negative or think I favor RINO candidates. I don’t. I’m just trying to be clear-eyed and realistic about the fact that RINO candidates with broad appeal, good looks, strong positives, etc are what the GOP prefers (McCain, Bush, etc) and next year should be no different.
