I understand where you are coming from with that argument, but today is MUCH different and face it, legislative experience is nothing in getting elected now.
As a prime example I give you the pResident now.
He did NOTHING at all and got elected.
He ran against Bush .. no that is not a typo. He never ran against Mccain .. he was always comparing himself to Bush.
Bachmann is doing the same thing. She is running herself against the worst leader our country has ever seen. And she is making a very stark contrast to him. She is well spoken, has been an established leader of the TEA party, add the female factor (which was BIG for HRC) and I think she can do it with ease.
Nothing about this is going to be easy. I wish I could agree about Bachmann but I just don’t see it. There are other more experienced conservatives running or going to run who would give Obama a tough go.
Agreed that Obama was an empty suit but I have higher standards for our movement. Bachmann should run against Al Frankin instead and do the country a real favor.
