"For the Bachmann campaign, this is the first big challenge.
It's evidence of what happens when you jump up into the top ring of these polls, and the kind of scrutiny that you get.
It's going to be important for her to get her doctors out there quickly to provide medical records and to provide the reassurance that people are going to want to have that this is not a serious issue."

Lessee...
Eisenhower, bad heart
Kennedy, Addison’s disease
Johnson, bad heart
Reagan, beginnings of Alzheimer’s
Clinton, cholestrol-laden arteries
Bachmann gets a headache and establishment-perpetuating Rove wants an intense vetting.
As Stossel would say, “Give me a break!”
Sad that so many officeholders’ medical records were overlooked. My biggest examples are FDR and JFK. No one gave a damn about their illnesses.
So, I assume Hannity will have him on this afteroon? Sigh. As soon as I hear Hannity start introducing “The Architect” I change stations. Guess it’ll be Jerry Doyle this afternoon.
I thought ‘Tokyo Rove’ was an inspired nickname, but ‘Poppin’ Fresh’..? ROTFLMAO!!!
I recall much press attention to W’s medicl exams every year, but not a peep about The 0ne, 0neder why that is?
W had to provide dental records, now Bachman must provide her last colonoscopy images?
Yet JFK had Addison’s Disease and was on serious painkillers for his back, and we did not find out about either until he was dead.
Rove is right.
Bachmann needs to come out quickly and tell her side, put this to rest quickly before it grows.
She’s all over TV, Washington, and the campaign trail. That, in itself, is a strong argument that she’s up to the job. But she should not just ignore this. It will not go away, only get worse.
Rove ,you are a RINO, traitor and deserve blame for the current situation,in short, YOU are Hated!
They are going after Bachmann medical records but not a peep about Obamas admitted cocaine use. And we are witness as to what cocaine dies to you.
Rove is working for the opposition
OK - so who is Rove doing this for? Who does he support?
FDR and JFK lived before the ‘net, digital cameras, and cellphones. They went to great pains to hide their conditions and succeeded.
They wouldn’t get away with it now.
On Facebook, Twitter and every message board across the land, remind the people that this is the same media that refused to investigate obama’s admitted cocaine usage....
True, but Eagleton was on Thorazine. His doctors didn’t think he was psychologically fit for office.
But I thought Bachmann was a Rovian candidate?
Isn't this guy some piece of work? Thanks to Karl we have Big Ears.
I don’t think Rove would have thought the story a big deal at all if it were about Huntsman or Romney.
But I thought Bachmann was a Rovian candidate?
Nah they just tell us how Palin has been vetted six ways to Sunday so that means she’s the only acceptible candidate. As if the MSM and the looney Left wouldn’t just spew this same sh*t all over again once she gets in.
