She'll step in sometime in the next couple of months and will pick of support from Huck and Palin because it's pretty obvious, even at this point, that those two will stay out.

No, it doesn't offend me.  It's just amusing.

[Mr. Morden]

OK, maybe she really is "in":

And to ensure we see this again on January 20, 2013



Though honestly, I'll probably be voting for him........

[The Mikado]

Well, at least there will be one GOP candidate more entertaining than drying paint.

[Bull Moose Base]

Palin interviews where she's not asked about Michele Bachmann have just become as rare as ones where she's not asked if she's running for president.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

If she gets the nomination, her running mate has to be Rep. Mike Turner.

[Joe Biden 2020]

You might want to check the year, again!! It should say 2013 and since January 20 is on Sunday.  The new term will start at noon Sunday, but there should be a ceremony on Monday.

?  When since Eisenhower has the inauguration ever not been on January 20?

I fixed the date, wise guy.

If she won the nomination (which I give about an 0.1% chance to), I'd leave the party.

[Likely Voter]

more good news for amusing debates.

With Bachman and Trump in, it can only help Romney I am sure his team are happy. THe more the merrier. This makes it harder and harder for Barbour, Pawlenty, Huntsman to build  buzz and momentum with these others who will grab headlines. We could see also see those more mainstream candidates turn to saying more outrageous things just to get noticed.

Why? The moderates had free reign of the pres nod amongst the GOP since 1988. Except for W they all lost. It's time for a conservative to lead. Not Mittens or his Ilk. Ron Paul/Michelle Bachamann 2012 would teapartyslide Obama back to Hawaii.

A guy who the entire media wrote off in 2008 as a kook plus a bimbo who the entire media loves because of the asinine things she says? Yeah, that's a winning ticket right there, in maybe Utah.

Michele Bachmann, in addition to being borderline insane and intellectually challenged, is an extremist. I realize these traits make her extraordinarily popular among the teabaggers, but if Nevada and Delaware are any indications, if she's on the ticket, it will sink the Republicans, whether she's the presidential or vice presidential nominee, i.e. Palin. Sure, she excites the base, but she'll alienate moderates and independents and will just ignite the Democratic/liberal base that despises her so much. Her presence on the ticket would definitely re-energize the Obama Coalition. Make no mistake about it, it'd be an Obama landslide, and then the teabaggers would just have to follow Sharron Angle's lead and exercise those Second Amendment remedies, I guess. 

But oh, I hope she gets the nomination. I will campaign for her during the primary season.

Didn't Obama and the Dems just lose to those TEA PARTY PATRIOTS by 60 some seats in the House and a lot of state races. Don't count your neocon progressives before their teleprompters break.

Here's an Obama vs. Bachmann map being very nice to Bachmann

I think she might do worse. This could very well be her ceiling. The woman is one step below insane.

[milhouse24]

I support Bachmann running for Prez because it will be really entertaining, in a train wreck sort of way

That's pretty much the map I came up with for Obama/Palin, though I was generous enough to give her Texas and Tennessee.

[pbrower2a]

She would lose NE-02.
