Perry needs to announce before Bachmann gets to strong.

Michele Marie Bachmann

born April 6, 1956 in Waterloo, IA (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
David John Amble, born in MN
Jean Johnson, born in IA

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of her birth (Meets the Jus sanguinis Requirement)

Michele Bachmann is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama ISN'T!

I suggest anti-Bachmann FReepers converge on Iowa and try harder than ever to destroy her, this time in person instead of online. /sarc

To you, who know who you are, you know you’ll never be happy until she’s destroyed, so get with it.

[Buckeye McFrog]

look for the inside-the-beltway slime machine to really gear-up and go after her now

[Rudder]

Surprise, surprise!

Is Cain putting in a lot of effort there? It seems the almost universal response to hearing Cain is surprise and admiration. Seems to me he has a lot of upside room yet.

To criticize Bachmann in her present role as an announced candidate is by no means to be 'anti-Bachmann'. She has played a core role in the coalescence of the Tea Party. By many accounts, she has done yeoman work inside the House, educating and counseling the freshman conservative members. Against these highly positive factors must be set some objective realities, not necessarily in order of importance:

[1] She engaged Ed Rollins as her campaign manager, a per se sign that she did so without thoroughly vetting Rollins, who can best be described as a loopy legend in his own mind, with all kinds of baggage, BTW. Query, why couldn't she have done better?

[2] She has no money and lacks the star power to raise it any time soon.

[3} She is getting far too much positive attention from the mainslime media - a sure sign of un-electability for any conservative candidate. What do they see that has not been brought to light?

[4] She has no executive experience, zero, zip, nada. This matters, people.

[5] She is not Sarah Palin. In her wildest dreams, Bachmann cannot pull in the independents, the unions, the single moms, the military families, in Sarah Palin's numbers within those crucial groups. In order to save the country, winning the White House with narrow margins in the congress will not suffice. We must also win the House and the Senate with working conservative majorities. This will require a tsunami and only Sarah Palin has the demonstrated vision, power and the skill to win by tsunami. Vision and skill underscored and case closed.
