You posted this article in breaking news just to say that Palin is in third place in a poll?
That’s great; Bachmann is doing way better than anyone thought and is a worthy candidate don’t you think?
I’m sure that she’s a fine congresswoman, although she’s never passed a bill of any kind, but president? Don’t we already have a neophyte legislator with no executive experience. And I didn’t post it in “Breaking News” to go on and on about the polls, I’m just correcting a statement made in the article that is not true. It is breaking news when the candidate who won the Ames Straw Poll not that long ago is now shedding her campaign staff like a parka in May.
I'm not keen on choosing between a nice hair guy with an affection for open borders and a nice hair guy with an affection for socialized medicine.
No, she's not a worth candidate, for the reasons many of us have been pointing out from the get-go. It's nothing to do with "conservative credentials", it's all about having no track record of executive experience and leadership -- it's far too important of a job to take those qualities on hope and change faith.
Bachmann has performed exactly as I expected -- temporarily up at the top as the "flavor of the month" and as a placeholder for better qualified candidates. I'm not sold on Perry, but you can see what his entrance into the race did to Bachmann. Her "support" collapsed overnight and she'll be lucky to have enough money to even make it to Iowa; in other words, her previous showing proved that she was indeed a "placeholder" candidate.
