Why Bachmann probably won’t win the nomination - Daily Caller
Assuming that the field is set and neither Perry nor Palin enters, I still think Bachmann will have a difficult time winning the nomination. She should fare extremely well in the Iowa caucuses next year, but after that her campaign is likely to sputter. As the field begins to narrow, general electability and a candidate’s perceived ability to create jobs will begin to play a bigger role for GOP primary voters. Bachmann’s lack of executive experience combined with her propensity for untimely gaffes and personal baggage will make it hard for her to win the delegates necessary for the nomination.
