I like her but I am now looking at candidates to see if they can beat Obama. That is my main concern. I just get the feeling that she can’t. Not sure why. Not sure voters are really ready for a woman president. Look what the media did to Hillary. They preferred a half-black man over a woman. Look what they have done to Sarah. They just treat women differently. I don’t know a lot about Rick Perry but he seems to have a good economic history that would be a great comparison against Obama. He’s good looking (I believe looks count to some extent, Lincoln excepted!). I hope he runs. I could vote for him.
The fact that Rollins went out of his way to bash Palin - and in the process alienate large numbers of Palin supporters who would be a natural crossover to Bachmann if Palin doesn't run - shows that Rollins is about subtraction, not addition (also indicated by his past work on Huck's presidential campaign). And you have to add to your base to win the primary and the general. And the fact that Bachmann didn't publicly take Rollins to the woodshed shows to me that she doesn't understand the concept either.
A congresscritter has a very different path to election and re-election than a Senator or Governor who has to win statewide. Bachmann hasn't gone through that process yet, and a presidential election cycle is not the place for on-the-job training in such an endeavor.
