With Sarah Palin's aspirations all but destroyed, Michele Bachmann jumps up to quickly take her place while the political corpse is yet still warm.

"I think I'll put the knife right there between her grizzly shoulder blades."
Courtesy of the New York Times:

Sarah Palin, the reigning heroine of many social conservatives, has given few signals that she will make a presidential bid. Mike Huckabee, who won the Iowa caucuses in 2008 on the strength of his appeal to evangelicals and other constituencies, has mostly offered reasons for not joining the race.
So into that space has come Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota.

“It isn’t that I was born thinking I had to be president,” she said, leaning in and talking softer than she does on television or at Tea Party rallies. “I’m getting a lot of encouragement to run from people across the country. I don’t believe this is a rash decision.”

Do you think she is talking about real "people," or just the voices in her head?

“If Congresswoman Bachmann gets in, she has the potential to appeal to a lot of people who might have gone for Governor Palin,” Gov. Terry E. Branstad of Iowa said in an interview. “Imagine if they both got in. That could make it really interesting.”

If Bachmann and Palin BOTH get into the race this will be the most entertaining GOP primary in history!  They could put the debates on Pay-Per-View and have enough to finance the ENTIRE Republican campaign.

Of course it would still not do them any good because by the time this Republican three ring circus was over and they finally swept up the last of the sawdust, and shoveled out the remaining elephant shit, the American people would never vote whichever clown was left standing into the White House.

But the question remains, if Palin decides to finally use that common sense she is always bragging about and skips this nomination process, does Bachmann truly have what it takes to wear her mantle?

Ms. Bachmann would have substantial obstacles to overcome. She has already made some high-profile gaffes — including declaring late last month that the opening shots of the Revolutionary War took place in New Hampshire, not Massachusetts — that raise questions about her preparation for the scrutiny of a national campaign.

Her Congressional office has experienced considerable turnover, including five chiefs of staff in the last four years. A former chairman of the Minnesota Republican Party, Ron Carey, resigned after five months in the post. He told reporters in Minneapolis that he would not support her presidential bid, saying, “She’s not going to be an electable candidate for us.”

Well I guess that answers THAT question.

"The Teabaggers Queen is dead!  Long live the Queen of Teabaggers!"

    just like Palin called NH the great NorthWEST - Bachmann messed up as well. She also referred to John Quincy Adams as the forefather that abolished slavery. It's clear she doesn't understand elementary school history.

    Maybe, she'll study.....who knows?

    If she gets the nomination, there is no doubt Obama will get a second term.

    This is going to be interesting. Let's see which one of Sarah's mental pathologies will win out. On one hand, with Bachmann in the race, she's got a perfect excuse to do what she does best, quit when she's challenged, criticized, and the going gets tough. However, she always has to be the most popular girl in the room, so watching Bachmann wear her "queen of the tea party" crown is going to eat her up.

    Sarah loves the money, so I think that's going to tip the scales and she's going to use this as her out, but there's no way she's going to be able to resist sniping at Bachmann's heels, especially if her own career continues to implode. I'm sure she's pissed Bachmann is jumping in so early, making her look even more irrelevant and unserious for sitting on the sidelines.

    One last thing, Bachmann running takes away her real power in the Republican party--her power to be queenmaker for the candidates. Her people will naturally vote for Bachmann, with or without her endorsement, so none of the candidates will feel it necessary to kiss her butt.

    Did you know that BOTH the far left and the far right now have well funded groups trying to dig up dirt on the various networks and their employees? Seem like High School?
    Rather than trying to stir up fights...perhaps the time would be better spent by both sides of the spectrum trying to figure out solutions to real problems? This doesn't mean that there will not be fierce debate (debate is good) .. energy should be directed towards improving things.

    (and yes, both far left and far right are doing this)

    "...Tired of being on the receiving end of damaging stories developed by liberal groups such as Media Matters and the Center for American Progress, conservatives are looking to launch their own opposition research army to dig up dirt on the left...."

    Looking at that picture of Palin I can see that she is not proud of what God gave her. What I see is that her boobs looks like a flat pair of puppy dog ears, you know the pancake type. The kind that just lays flat which is nothing compared to her Belmont pictures.

    You know the saying "Go Big Or Go Home"?
    Well I guess Sarah is a going home with her granny flap jacks.

    Bristol plans on going BIG with that big Jay Leno implant chin of hers.

    Todd never had a chance of going BIG and becoming somebody important with that 4 incher of his. His 4 incher on a good day is like the 14 ft fence he built. It looked bad, never had a chance of staying up and the first wind to hit it - it just went down and never got up again.

    I think the Iowa courting system is going to be the death of any GOP candidate's chance at mainstream appeal.

    The Iowa primary is going to expose the hypocrisy and lengths of pandering each candidate will go to to clear that polling hurdle but at the cost of a rational and adult race of national appeal.

    This race is going to expose that winning in Iowa doesn't mean winning the country. It's a Charlie Sheen version of Winning.

    I recall the Back to The Future" series. Character Marty McFly's short temper would flare up when someone called him "chicken". Bullies would "dare" him to something because they knew he'd take the dare when called chicken.

    Wonder if Michele and her team and subconsciously calling out Sarah in a dare to run. With articles like NYT, where Bachmann says, "I'm getting a lot of encouragement to run from people across the country", and Gov. Branstad's "If Congresswoman Bachmann gets in, she has the potential to appeal to a lot of people who might have gone for Governor Palin".

    Why do I get the feeling they are daring Sarah on? And Sarah does like a challenge. B-wak-Bak-Bak-Bak?

    There are a couple of differences between Michele and Sarah. Michele currently is serving in a political office. Sarah will never be able to explain successfully that quitting was a good thing.

    Michele can actually speak in complete sentences, while Sarah starts a sentence in once direction and gets interrupted by distracting words and phrases. What Michele says is as stupid as the stuff that Palin says. Michele doesn't get caught in words salad quite as often.

    Both appeal to the extreme right wing republican or tea party person who still believes that the world was created in six days, six thousand years ago. They both want that taught in the schools along with religious studies, but not sex education. They both use the theme of "no big government" while accepting money from big government.

    Michele has lost five chiefs of staff, but at least she has an operation going in Iowa. She is there on a regular basis, getting ready for the primaries. Sarah has no organization, and hasn't been to Iowa lately. Sarah played cute and coy for too long, while Michele has been working hard at positioning herself as a possible candidate.

    The good news is that regular Republicans think that both Sarah and Michele trivialize the GOP and make them look foolish. I'm sure that they want a candidate who really has a chance of winning. If they are good politicians, they know that McCain's loss was due, in part, to his choice of Palin on the ticket. I don't think that they really want to repeat that mistake.

    5:57 AM,

    You, the media, and the Tea Party are stuck in JUNIOR HIGH. The Tea Party are not a bunch of fucking "moderates," they are the very same far-right extremists you are pretending to dislike. The Tea Party does not represent positive change, and most of the country disagrees with the Tea Party. The Tea Pary is worse than the status quo. The Tea Party is very unpopular. The Tea Party toddlers are trying to force a government shutdown. "Our way, or the highway, or we'll shutdown the government!" Yup, that's sooo moderate. Not. Moderates compromise, and don't shutdown the federal government. You don't even know what a moderate is. I have never heard anyone call the Tea Party "moderate" before. You are clearly confused. The Tea Party doesn't hava any solutions to our problems. They only have solutions to make our problems worse.

    The far-right is far better funded than the Left. Do your damn homework. The far-right groups raised way more money than left-wing groups in the midterm elections. There are also far more right-wing groups smearing the Left. The Citizen's United ruling benefits the far-right, FYI. The right-wing also controls the media, you moron.

    The Left is nowhere as bad the Right. The right-wing has stomped on people's heads, shown up to political rallies armed to the teeth, manufactured union thuggery with fraudulent videos, destroyed ACORN, smeared Shirley Sherrod, burned Korans, (which caused the deaths of innocent people)and republicans in Wisconsin plotting a fake assasination attempt on the governor, in order to smear unions. And, plenty more.

    Some of the best Minnesota exposure of the real Michelle Bachmann can be found at
    http://www.dumpbachmann.com/

    The story today there is " Is Serial Liar Bachmann Lying About Her Own Family History?"

    It was when Bachmann said she was a 7th generation Iowan, descended from Norwegians who immigrated to Iowa in the 1850s, that I started paying attention, simply because it would be mathematically impossible for a woman in her mid-fifties to be the 7th generation descended from people who immigrated in the 1850s unless each of their direct ancestors from every generation had had a child when they were still a child themselves. After catching this one obvious lie, I just couldn't resist doing a little fact checking on the rest of Bachmann's story. What I found was that Bachmann's version of her family's history was as much a work of fiction as anything found in one of David Barton's books.

    It turns out that Michelle Bachamnn may have some actual connections to the material in the David Barton book.

After all, she didn't get tapped as VP until 3 months before the election. Watch for an 11th hour entry into the Republican primary in defiance of all that is sacred and sane.

Every day people like her less, according to all polls. So coming in at the last minute--she'd have to go 3rd party because you cannot be in the GOP process without going through the primary process. Those are the rules.

    Third party, she'd have no chance. And it would guarantee another Obama victory.

    Could she jump in at the last moment as a 3rd party candidate? No. She'd need a national operation to get signatures & file papers to get on ballots in most states. you can't become the Teabagger POTUS relying on write ins.

    Palin and Bachmann are the Tweedledee and Tweedledum of rank stupidity. Even though Bachmann is currently in an elected position, that's not saying anything in her favor and it speaks volumes about the people who elected her. She is every bit as ignorant and backward as Palin is, so her presence in the nomination process would be no improvement on Palin. Not to mention how unnerving it is to look at those demented eyes.
