So only the Tea Party supports both Gov. Palin and Rep. Bachmann? Huh?

Sarah Palin is not running folks. Bachmann is the one.

KRAUTHAMMER: Exactly. It's a whole different constituency....

Well it appears as though this different constituency is a shrinking and irrelevant one. Bachmann is out polling Mitt in certain polls.

Ted Baxter is a Democrat and Krouthammer didn't even vote for Reagan either time. Not the types of people to take serious in an election cycle like this.

So what they are saying is the tea party represents 25% of the vote, which is too insignificant to take seriously. Yet, we must all pander to the <1% gay vote.

Or, you could look at it that the Tea Party people are not too likely to support Romney, Huntsman.

I still don’t see Romney having as big of a lead as they are saying. However between the moderates and indie votes, that may be so.

WHY I’M DEPRESSED—humor

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, “Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land.”

Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land.”

Today, the government has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land to China. I was so depressed last night thinking about my retirement, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, etc. that I called a Suicide Hotline. I had to press 1 for English. I was then connected to a call center in Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal. They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck...

Well, I think you're right. I don't think Sarah Palin is going to take any votes away from Mitt Romney.

Well I agree with BOR on this... Romney is Mr. 20%. If you look at polls going back to 2007, the guy has been stuck on the number. That is why Huck took him out in Iowa and McCain (who did not have a dime in the campaign account) beat him in NH.

If Palin gets into the race, the polls go to Palin 25%, Romney 20%, Bachmann 15%, Perry 10%. Pawlenty and Huntsman are non-factors. Then it is a state by state race.

Not "only." It's their base. Tea Party is not Romney's base, clearly.

No need to twist the words here.

Krauthammer is a liar...He says if you had asked me some months ago I would have said Palin , He only trashed Palin, the guy is a freakin loser, has never spoken a kind word about SP

Can not remember how many times I heard the MSM during the 2008 campaign say....Charles Krauthammer says Obama this and Obama that...Krauthammer is partly responsible for Obama being elected.

HE HATES GOV PALIN!

Bill O is a loser also

krauthammer hates palin...she isn't an Ivy league person, therefore is not "fit" for the presidency by birthright.

There has been a noticeable uptick in the bad-mouthing of Palin/Bachmann in the “No Spin Zone” as of late. I guess Mr. Baxter and Mr. Kraut think they are way too sophisticated for anyone to notice.

CK was much better in the online continuation of the All-Star panel last night, when he countered idiot (or Establishment puppet) Steve Hayward’s claim that Palin’s entry would make things 10x easier for Romney by splitting the vote with Bachmann.

CK stressed that one conservative challenger would emerge pretty quickly and that it could be Palin, that Palin is smart, and that Palin could win the nomination. (He didn’t take it out further than that.)

Oh, also CK gave Palin her due re: the tea party, saying that yes, Bachmann chaired the TP caucus in congress, but that Palin was really the queen of the tea party.
