I like Romney more or less but I want whomever can beat Obama. I don’t think Michelle can do it but who knows? In the long run, experience and appeal to the electorate will win and the ideologues will still be on the sidelines whining about losing again. You see ideologues are never about success. They are about being right as they see it, even if their side looses. In this case, being “right” would mean another four years of Obama and the destruction of our nation.

PLEASE nominate Michelle Bachmann for your candidate in 2012. Please, Grand Obstructionist Party. 4 years of intelligent, rational leadership is not nearly long enough to set the country on the road to recovery after 8 years of the George Dumbya Bush trainwreck. Remember how long it took the US to get out of the Great Depression, which was caused by – SURPRISE, SURPRISE!! – deregulation and an unchecked market.

  Surprise! A progressive troll is a half wit. The great depression was not caused by the market OR deregulation. Try protectionism, half wit progressive policies, and turning away from free market/low tax policies of Calvin Coolidge. Bush wasn’t conservative or small government enough… and Obama is literally the worst president ever. What we need is someone more like Calvin Coolidge. PlEASE.

ROMNEYCARE is a LOSER in more ways than one.

Bachmann would be a great candidate for 2012 and so would Trump. When the left starts making things up about them, then you know they’re concerned.

This is sad. This woman is no more a conservative than a democrat. She wants greater power to corporations over the rights of citizens. THe conservs need to wake up. Our const. used to give powers to the people over the government, but now its giving power industries. Reagan would be so upset by his party and today’s repubs would disown Reagan’s policies today.

Not surprising at all about her fundraising- she has consistantly been out there in the thick of the fight. Romney has been quietly off in the shadows- deciding how to “position himself.”

  you are right, I have noticed that too. Bachmann in the mist since TEA party forming, Romney no were to be seen. Didn’t hear anything from him on healthcare when we were all calling and protesting against it. Bachmann has my vote, however since I am no party affiliate it’s up to the Rebublicans to choose wisely.
