Lets see one has been reelected several times, the other one quiet. One is running the other one is not. Cannot compare actual reelected success to one that does not have that experience.

Doesn’t change my mind. I like her. And I like her better than Sarah, as a leader. I think she has been much more solid on conservative financial issues than Palin.

But....I would like to know why Savage no longer likes her. He was really touting her a few months ago. Now, he seems to be upset with Bachmann.

I don’t dislike Bachmann. I just like Palin better.

As a leader, what has she accomplished?

Here's my only comment, which should be sufficient..."she doesn't have Sarah's record"

She talks the talk, but Sarah's the ONLY ONE who's actually walked the walk! - I ask anyone else, to name what other candidate has taken on the 'Republican Establishment' (corrupt or not) and WON!

I have no idea what he is talking about, and I am a relatively newly minted fan of Palin and I am not looking to Bachmann to replace her anytime in the near future.

I have problems with Bachmann, especially since she seems to be doing some stuff for political expediency, but I still have a favorable opinion of her. I am bound to have a problem with everyone sooner or later, so unless I want to run, I’ll have to live with it.

I remember Bachmann being at the forefront, for example, of the "Repeal and Replace" groundswell that helped drive the huge Republican victories of last November. Now that that uproar has died down, her silence is as deafening as anybody else's.

Not true. Who is it that found $105 billion hidden in the "bill we had to pass so we can find out what's in it" to implement ObamaCare? Who is it that says at every opportunity that this is one of the first cuts we should make? Other than Jim DeMint and Michele Bachmann, I don't hear anyone else in the GOP even bringing this up, much less repeating it.

The House has the votes to defund the implementation of ObamaCare, queering the military and a ton of other odious crap. Who, other than a handful of strong conservatives including Michele Bachmann has the guts to even talk about it?

Basically, Bachmann "talks" very well the strategy that Sarah has actually "walked" the actual implementation of over the past 20 years.

It is one thing to speak eruditely of all these great principles, and quite another to live them day in and day out, when an entire State's (or Country's) well-being hangs in the balance of the results of your decisions and actions... of your leadership.

Palin is tested and proven. Bachmann is not.

>>> And I like her better than Sarah, as a leader.

Needs more elaboration, with supportive links/materials preferably.

"As a leader, what has she accomplished?"

I'm still waiting to hear anyone who can itemize this.

People LOVE to listen to 'speeches' and 'hear people say stuff', but don't pay attention to track record. See, that takes a little bit of effort, and 'too much thinking'. I hate to criticize my own side of the fence, but MB's record is nothing but 'activism' and 'talk' - hasn't "managed' anything, or actually "lead by executive experience".

I’m afraid I agree.

Something creeps me out a bit by Bachman and I can’t quite put my finger on it.

The former governor of Alaska is a conservative. Her would-be political clone only plays one on TV.

One actually plays a TV commentator and walked off her job.

The other is still in there fighting for conservatism.

Hmmmmmm.....

Looks likes BDS is striking.

You do know that Gov. Palin was elected and re-elected to city council and mayor? That she was the energy chairwoman for her state? That she won statewide office, which is something Rep. Michele Bachmann has never done. Yet we’re supposed to believe she can win more states than Mr. Obama?

-"Palin is tested and proven. Bachmann is not."

Here's a spot-on post in FR about this whole MB campaign, and frankly, I have to agree with most of it, and have no doubt that Sarah feels just like Ronald Reagan felt back in 1979.

Bachmann's the cheerleader on the sidelines. Palin's the star quarterback with several victories under her belt.

Were you here when we went over her reasons for resigning? We only discussed it several thousand times, so maybe you missed it.
