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.
Charles when I read that post, by the time is is finished, with your contradictions, it comes out as Palin is the dream candidate of the left, and you understand why Romney supporters have switched to Bachmann.
What I keep hearing between the lines is a frustrated Romneybot.
