So Bachmann, as conservative as anyone in the field, has underwater favorables among Republicans. Most amazingly, 1 out of 4 Bachmann voters have an unfavorable impression of her.
policy positions can't trump being a troll.

Gingrich and Cain have the highest favorables among Republicans nationwide. Hilarious.
Cain is simply likable, regardless if you're no longer supporting him.
Gingrich has not been a troll (though he did have a huge chip on his shoulder when he was Speaker), is sharp, and is a good ideological fit, PLUS, Newt is NOT ideologically inflexible.
I agree, Jmfsct, but I think this last point re: ideological flexability actually
hurts him among the primary voting block he must harness to challenge Romneuy.
