The problem with Bachmann is that she was all too eager to hop on some of the attacks the MSM was pushing against some of the candidates, and she was pushing some ridiculous attacks. The attacks didn't serve to make her look better, they served to bring other candidates down.

And some of her attacks were incompetent - she was going after Perry on Gardasil over spurious claims it caused retardation when a competent campaign would have realized the real story was that Merck hired Perry's good friend and former Chief of Staff Mike Toomey to lobby Perry to sign the order sot hat Merck (and Toomey) would rake in a bunch of money. You have to be really incompetent to miss that story.

She of all people should have been less hesitant to jump on some of the attacks the media was pushing against other candidates, especially against Cain, since the media did the same thing to her, planting suggestions that she was some religious nut, etc.

I like Michelle, I wanted her to be doing better, but I can't but think that she brought a lot of this on herself - what comes around, goes around.

that’s a nice story but it doesn’t help TBBT’s loony conspiracy theory any.

Exactly.
