Anyway, if I actually wanted Romney, which I don’t, I’d love the ban, because it makes anti-Romney posts here meaningless. People come to a site like FR in part to see the debate, to see which ideas win and lose. When they see that certain ideas and opinions are banned, they know that means they don’t get good information about those ideas or opinions, just a one-sided biased picture. Anyway, I apparently have my hands full trying to keep Michelle Bachmann viable here (it is so weird to type that — if you had asked me 6 months ago who I thought was most likely to get trashed on FR, Bachmann would have never even entered my mind).

LOL, it is like a Romney leak that you just can't stop, by the way most of the old Romney crowd is now pushing Bachmann, just as NPR, Chris Mathews, and much other media is.

I don’t know why you think “most of the old Romney Crowd” is pushing Bachmann. Although I imagine some might because they think Bachmann can’t beat Romney, and will suck the air out of a possible Perry entry into the race, or split the conservative vote.

I’m not “supporting” Bachmann right now. She wasn’t my pick before she entered, and I’m not sure she’d be my first pick of those who have entered the race. I do “back” her, and I have backed Sarah Palin since she was chosen to be the VP nominee, although I can’t say she’s my pick, since I’ve decided not to pick anybody who isn’t already in the race, because of the Fred Thompson thing in 2008.

The left is pushing Bachmann because they don’t think she can win, and they don’t think Palin (their first choice) is going to run. Just as a lot of conservatives pushed Obama in 2008 because they thought he couldn’t actually win.
