Between redistricting and burning bridges with conservatives, she may have a problem.
To the casual observer there is no difference between Palin and Bachmann so one must go or split the difference.
You may have a point with the redistricting problem. Clearly they hate her back home and will Gerrymander that seat right out of existence, so moving to a friendly district or running for the presidency may be her only way to play politics in the future.
If they aren't hiring for drive-through cashier at the local McDonald's yet Corporate is scouting for a new CEO, I can understand trying to candidate for Top Gun as opposed to staying home and watching TV.
I have thought from the beginning that Bachmann’s plan was to use this “presidential run” to build up her campaign finance machine, in order to oust Boehner from the speaker’s chair. Something he richly deserves, btw.
But this whole Rollins thing was jarring and I have to wonder if those who have claimed she made a deal with Romney might be right. I hate even thinking about this, as I’ve been a fan of hers and a contributor. I’ve never seen anyone make such a boneheaded move like this in the beginning of an enterprise. Yes, she has some very non-conservative things in her background (my posting history explains what they are) but I held out hope she was exactly as advertised. But she looks to me like someone has started to believe her own press clippings.
Pretty comical when you consider her record of non-accomplishment, at both the state and federal level. I hope she has enough brains to instruct Rollins to not get into a pissin’ match about their respective records. Because this won’t end well for MB.
What a wing ding. :(
