re: #15 lawhawk
Bachmann wont be able to stand the heat of a concerted campaign and her campaign staff is already having issues (her top consultant is stepping down and the deputy is leaving - and they already consider her the third choice behind Mitt and Perry).
She can’t possibly do it, no. One key part of being able to run successfully for president is the ability to say things like ‘Ah, shucks, you think I’m a Nazi? Well, heckfire, I ain’t,” without losing your cool. Bachmann freaks when criticized.
