oh noes, this means if bachmann is the nominee she’ll pick mitt as her running mate! /chickenlittle
Poll after poll now shows we have a conservative that can take down Romney. I’d expect Bachmann’s numbers in Iowa to soar if the field remains as it is.
This is like polling for the Dem nomination and leaving out Mr. Obama. What a crock of shiite.
First poll I’ve seen where Bachmann is just one point away from Romney’s runaway {snicker} lead.
BACHMANN A DISAPPOINTMENT ON AFGHANISTAN
There were hopeful indications, suggestions, soupçons, that Michele Bachmann was an at least incipient dissenter from the Bush / Obama / neocon paradigm on nation-building and “democratizing” Muslim nations.
Alas, it was not to be. She tells a delighted Matthew Continetti at The Weekly Standard:
On Afghanistan, I firmly believe that we are at a point where we’ve got to stay the course, and we’ve got to finish the job. Reports coming out of Helmand right now are positive.... David Petraeus, who wrote the book on counterinsurgency and on the surge strategy, is successfully prosecuting the surge.
Now, President Obama has not told the story the way President Bush did. President Bush did let the country know where we were at, and I give him a lot of credit because when he was getting all sorts of invective pointed against him, he stood against the world for what he knew to be right in dealing with terrorism. And perhaps no other would have stood the way that he did. I give him great credit for that.
Now in Afghanistan, we are making great progress. We have to win southern Afghanistan, then we have to go on and win eastern Afghanistan. I believe that we will be victorious, and we’ll end it. I understand why people are frustrated. I completely understand. But I do trust General Petraeus in that effort and in what he is doing over there. And I think that they are doing what we need to do.
Bachmann apparently has no grasp, not even a tiny hint, of the essential hopelessness and insanity of what we have been doing there—sacrificing our men to build “trust” with our mortal enemies. Apparently the repeated mass murders of U.S. soldiers by their Afghan “allies” has not caused the slightest tremor of cognitive dissonance in the congresswoman’s comely head. And apparently she has never even thought about the fundamental questions asked the other day by Diana West:
Is Western-style nation-building in the Islamic Umma in any way a practical policy?
Are basic American concepts of governance compatible in any way with a culture based in religious and sexual supremacism?
Should Americans be dying for people who, for example, practice child marriage? Pederasty? To whom women are chattel? To whom corruption is as much a part of their lives as air? Whose allegiances, whose belief system, whose natural reflexes default, in the end, in ways subtle and not subtle, to the ways of jihad against infidels?
Could someone maybe arrange a meeting between Rep. Bachmann and Miss West?
It’s being reported as a tie because the media can’t bring themselves to admit that Bachman is eating the designated front-runner’s lunch on Day 1 of her campaign.
MB 2012 ping
iowa is a caucus state, which is a stupid way to pick a candidate. you may as well have a riot.
the better organized candidate will win.
Bad news for T-Paw. Romney is skipping the Iowa straw polls and putting everything on NH as is Huntsman.
Tim is toast.
Mitt who ?

Gawd! I wish people would get themselves educated on McRomney before they go and make another huge mistake.
I don’t think Romney has any chance in Iowa.
At this point I’m feeling neither can beat Obama.
(I'm guessing Marco Rubio).
.
Bachmann does not have my support while Rollins still works for her. Rollins represents an evil that infects the GOP like a foul, socialist disease. I will not tolerate the presence of a RINO traitor on the team of anyone who calls themselves conservative.
Just another example of MSM pushing Bachmann. I had predicted this for some time.
The poll has a 2nd red herring aside from the fact that they are pushing MB. Romney in first in Iowa??? The most surprised person in the world will be Romney, who has been planning to basically skip Iowa.
Are we going to see team Romney change it`s strategy now because of this “very very respected” (according to ABC Amonpour) De Reg poll?...what a joke...No Romney knows he is not in first place, and is not about to re evaluate because of a phony poll.
There has been a giant wink across the Rep Est/MSM polling outfits to leave Palin out and push MB
