I agree with everything you said!!! However we are going to see I believe a real push for Michelle Bachmann by the NYTIMES/MSM/FOX/POLLSTERS over the next few months prior to Sarah entering the race.
I believe this will start very soon if it has not started already. The goal of all the MSM I mentioned is to try and push MB above Palin in popularity. This is their main goal in life I believe.
I just hope people do not buy into it, because MB is not up to the task, and quite frankly she is annoying me.
So the MB push has begun,mostly pushed by the MSM. I think that MB loses her credibility just by the fact that she thinks she could run against Sarah Palin and win, the idea that she would even consider running against Sarah at all, shows me she is made of the wrong stuff.
Yes she has the right to win, no question about it, just as the Muslims have a right to build a mosque at ground zero...HEAVY SARCASM
What you just said, has bothered me greatly about Bachmann. When she first started talking about running for president, it took me by surprise. I wondered why she would do such a thing, with the odds of her winning being so long, and with Palin being widely considered to be the leading contender in 2012.
She's an automatic spoiler for Sarah, because she will take votes away from her in the primary. They share the same natural constituency. Splitting that vote could easily hand the nomination over to Mitt, or some other lesser candidate.
It's hard for me to believe that Michele doesn't see and understand these dynamics. I have strong doubts that she would beat Mitt in a head-to-head match up for the nomination, so the question becomes, why is she in the race?
Will she stay in the race knowing all this, and risk handing the nomination to Mitt?
