She seems a tiny smarter to me Gerry. I think it’s pretty plainly obvious that she’s just a little bit more on the ball than Palin. Could my bar be any lower here? Seriously.

Must you be such a relentless douche on all such matters? Couldn’t you just say “that’s not saying much?” Because It’s not. Saying much. I am saying almost nothing nice. Arguably it’s not even complimentary.

The electorate is so fickle. Remember when it was supposed to be Hillary vs. Guliani? They will forget Bachmann and Sarah in time.

can’t help it: She must be a witch; she turned gingrich into a newt!

How do you know she’s not a witch? Let’s get her on a scale and compare her to a duck….

Well, she’s not a witch, and she hasn’t quit her elected position… that’s enough for me.

You know Rove is twisting. More good news for Dems. What do serious Republicans think? Where are they?? Pawlenty??? Really? He reminds me of an insurance salesman. Or a local lawyer putting himself in his own commercial. Did you see his epic movie trailer about his maybe pending exploritory committee? Big budget, big music, fast cuts and he still looked cheap. I don’t think he’s lighting anybody on fire. He’s a less qualified Republican version of John Kerry, maybe.

“slightly more substantive version of Sara Palin”

Why? Because she won more elections? A slightly more bat crap crazy, maybe, but a slightly more substantive version of Sara Palin?

She better run for president–her Minnesotan constituents have got to be so embarrassed by her by now she cannot possibly win re-election.

My initial sense of Bachman holds . . . that she’s a slightly more substantive version of Sara Palin. Still she feels lightweight to me: more about populist emotion than about insight and legitimate leadership.

IOW, I don’t see her winning serious nationwide consideration over the long haul. That leaves the question of which viable candidates are likely to lose support to her. She can perhaps be a monkey wrench of some sort. Especially during the baroque dance of the Iowa caucuses and the helter skelter of the first few primaries.
