I’m from Minnesota and know of Bachmann.

She is ditzy... no way presidential material.

She's not ditzy. She's a corporate lawyer: prissy in a holding-back-the-hissy-fit-but-still-betraying-a-snit kind of way.

That kind can be a pit bull in the bite-you-on-the-ankles, committee infighting kind of way, but isn't good as a LEADER.

She doesn't emanate the personal power (holding a crowd in the palm of her hand), the iron determination, of a Palin.

And as Sarah once said, "If you're not the lead dog, the view never changes."

Full Disclosure: ...if you are the lead dog, expect to have a wet, snuffling nose with a surface temperature of about -15^o F shoved into your ass about once every five minutes: as Sarah has no doubt discovered.

Cheers!
