And how is this different from any other nomination campaign involving two ideologically compatible candidates?

Is anyone saying Gary Johnson needs to stay out because Paul Ryan is running? Are there any stories about how it will be tough for Jon Huntsman with Mitt Romney already in? No. Has anyone said Palin should stay out because Herman Cain is already in and they appeal to the same constituents? No. The media is treating Bachmann and Palin as clones where if one runs the other can't. Ridiculous.

Mark my words once we get into the debates there will be very little daylight between any of the candidates (well outside of Ron Paul). They're all going to advocate cutting taxes and reducing spending and regulations. They're all going to push for repealing Obamacare. They're all going to support drilling at home. They're all (except for Paul) going to support a strong relationship with Israel, and not the 'peace' Obama is pushing. The idea that only Palin and Bachmann appeal to the same constituency is rubbish.
