re: #525 Lidane

She got 10,000+ people. In Minnesota. In April. If she still has that level of momentum in 2012 and can get out the grassroots, she has a real shot at the nomination.

As far as getting elected? I’d say no, especially if the economy recovers sufficiently by then. Either way, she’ll probably end up scaring more votes into Obama’s column.

But wasn’t that crowd with Hannity, Bachman and Pawlenty? While I think President Obama was the first President elected like an American Idol contestant, but I see no way she has the popularity votes even in her own party. She won’t get my vote.
