I think it is ok to "underestimate" her. nossy Send a noteboard - 15/08/2011 07:13:18 PM
She acts as though it is acceptable to dismiss the democrat viewpoint just by having enough republicans in office to overvote them. Yes, it can physically happen, but what about all the real people that also means one is choosing to marginalize? It isn't as though we've invented democrats just to annoy republicans and cause problems with them "getting things done."

I would be amazed if she could find enough independents to vote for her to make her viable - after all, this is a large part of what everyone was pissed about in the debt ceiling debacle.

Tim Pawlenty drops out of the race Isaac - 14/08/2011 07:20:58 PM 1414 Views
Bummer, I liked him. *NM* Darth_Katie - 14/08/2011 07:23:42 PM 401 Views
Yeah, him and Cain are the only ones I actually liked to hear talk Isaac - 14/08/2011 07:38:08 PM 840 Views
Grumpy and just nuts enough to be entertaining, from what I've heard... Legolas - 14/08/2011 08:15:15 PM 928 Views
Probably better to say he's not polished Isaac - 14/08/2011 08:46:37 PM 809 Views
Herman Cain is more obsessed with sharia than Muslims Aisha - 14/08/2011 09:28:21 PM 860 Views
Yeah, as Aisha says, it's the Islam issue he sounded the craziest on... Legolas - 14/08/2011 11:16:20 PM 1061 Views
Re: Yeah, as Aisha says, it's the Islam issue he sounded the craziest on... Isaac - 15/08/2011 12:02:22 AM 841 Views
well I don't think his posistion on Israel will play much of a factor one way or the other random thoughts - 15/08/2011 02:07:55 AM 783 Views
I've never really gotten to know him... which kind of says enough. Legolas - 14/08/2011 07:35:40 PM 895 Views
That pretty much sums it up I think Isaac - 14/08/2011 07:44:12 PM 843 Views
Yep. Legolas - 14/08/2011 08:26:17 PM 910 Views

Apparently Super Tuesday won't be quite as super this time. Joel - 14/08/2011 08:49:40 PM 897 Views
I think Michelle Bachman and Herman Cain are awesome. You should consider them *NM* Aisha - 14/08/2011 09:25:55 PM 417 Views
You're bordering on troll Isaac - 14/08/2011 11:37:37 PM 856 Views
Yes, Aisha is every bit as batsh!t as Bachmann or Palin..... trzaska2000 - 15/08/2011 04:36:05 AM 835 Views
I agree. Grow up a bit Aisha. *NM* everynametaken - 15/08/2011 07:39:49 AM 373 Views
About fucking time. Now if we could just get Santorum to drop, too. Tom - 14/08/2011 09:28:53 PM 879 Views
He'd indicated he would Isaac - 14/08/2011 11:47:03 PM 1017 Views
Oh, I don't think Bachmann WILL be kingmaker, but that's her goal. Tom - 15/08/2011 02:39:51 PM 829 Views
bachman is gonna be the vice presidential nominee for either Perry or Romney Aisha - 15/08/2011 04:22:33 AM 849 Views
funny that I only see liberals making an issue of his religion *NM* random thoughts - 15/08/2011 05:13:03 AM 397 Views
It's a clumsy attempt to poison the well Isaac - 15/08/2011 05:59:26 AM 780 Views
Re: It's a clumsy attempt to poison the well Aisha - 15/08/2011 07:13:01 AM 841 Views
Dems used to chase the evangelical vote, and the Church never should've permitted a political coup. Joel - 15/08/2011 09:22:53 AM 1025 Views
For the record, I'm not trying to poison any wells. Joel - 15/08/2011 09:54:53 AM 878 Views
I think the deal with Huckabee nossy - 15/08/2011 07:21:08 PM 815 Views
Huckabee didn't hide his beliefs, but also made clear he wouldn't try to legislate them. Joel - 16/08/2011 12:58:48 PM 869 Views
yeah i guess it was s liberal Fox reporter/talking head/whatever the Eff they are called Aisha - 15/08/2011 07:07:07 AM 900 Views
I'm not sure why she had to apologize for saying that. Joel - 15/08/2011 09:56:39 AM 855 Views
because its not true? Mormons ARE Christians arent they? Aisha - 15/08/2011 04:52:32 PM 873 Views
Except their founder taught, and his church teaches, that man is his own savior. Joel - 15/08/2011 05:54:28 PM 889 Views
well ok then, i didnt know all that Aisha - 15/08/2011 06:58:22 PM 1334 Views
Precisely; every Mormon you ever meet will ALWAYS insist they're Christian. Joel - 16/08/2011 01:57:06 PM 973 Views
So nutcase liberals and one woman on Fox News and she had the decency to apologize *NM* random thoughts - 15/08/2011 02:04:44 PM 410 Views
I find that highly unlikely. Tom - 15/08/2011 02:47:35 PM 943 Views
I agree with you. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 15/08/2011 03:08:35 PM 334 Views
I personally am considering voting for Romney , but I wouldnt underestimate Bachman and her power Aisha - 15/08/2011 04:58:19 PM 857 Views
I think it is ok to "underestimate" her. nossy - 15/08/2011 07:13:18 PM 819 Views
Also, it is very likely that Palin will not enter..... trzaska2000 - 14/08/2011 09:58:48 PM 870 Views
Your analysis of Perrys effect seems dead on to me. Joel - 15/08/2011 12:28:42 AM 890 Views
besides the fact that they both have west Texas accents what similarites? random thoughts - 15/08/2011 01:59:45 AM 847 Views
By the way, why did Kay B Hutch run against him in the primary election? trzaska2000 - 15/08/2011 03:43:52 AM 812 Views
Some did want to dump him, over the toll roads and mandatory HPV vaccines for school girls. Joel - 15/08/2011 03:58:38 AM 895 Views
you call losing by 15 points competing? *NM* random thoughts - 15/08/2011 04:07:08 AM 363 Views
It was 12.9%, which is pretty good for a Dem in a very red state during a very red year. Joel - 15/08/2011 04:26:58 AM 876 Views
Isn't that almost the exact same numbers Obama lost by in Texas? random thoughts - 15/08/2011 05:02:57 AM 855 Views
Roughly; are you going to pretend that 2010 was as good a year for Dems as 2008? Joel - 15/08/2011 05:34:32 AM 826 Views
there was a perception that he was vulnerable random thoughts - 15/08/2011 04:48:41 AM 944 Views
He was vulnerable, he only won in 06 with 39 percent of the vote *NM* Roland00 - 15/08/2011 01:14:43 PM 386 Views
KBH ran a terrible campaign random thoughts - 15/08/2011 02:14:48 PM 775 Views
I have to agree with the take that it's symptomatic of a larger problem. Joel - 14/08/2011 10:23:02 PM 889 Views
There's no "victory laurel" there. The Iowa straw poll is as irrelevant as lint in one's navel. Tom - 14/08/2011 11:13:36 PM 890 Views
Largely true; it matters to people like Bachmann who need credibility, but to few others. Joel - 15/08/2011 12:20:48 AM 1005 Views
unnamed sources from left leaning news source? who could question that *NM* random thoughts - 15/08/2011 01:25:07 AM 471 Views
Just because you don't like the quote doesn't make the person citing it "left leaning". Joel - 15/08/2011 02:00:15 AM 859 Views
It was a quote from Politico which is a left leaning news blog and the sources were unnamed random thoughts - 15/08/2011 02:14:09 AM 835 Views
If you say so. Joel - 15/08/2011 03:53:08 AM 855 Views
so you are going to just ignore the fact that your entire argument is based on unnamed sources? random thoughts - 15/08/2011 05:12:01 AM 804 Views
I'm not surprised no Republican wants to go on the record with that. Joel - 15/08/2011 05:51:47 AM 782 Views
I'm kinda curious how this thread got controversial Isaac - 15/08/2011 06:26:15 AM 831 Views
Probably because I opined my impression that most of the viable GOP field looks pretty unimpressive. Joel - 15/08/2011 09:11:45 AM 2053 Views
I look at politics like I look at sports and call races on what I believe will happen random thoughts - 15/08/2011 02:47:35 PM 852 Views
Normally I'd say that's the best approach, but in US politics all teams play for the same owner. Joel - 15/08/2011 04:04:43 PM 1313 Views
I am trying to keep it to just the facts and my opinion of the race random thoughts - 15/08/2011 02:49:47 PM 719 Views
Re: I HAD HIM GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE ROSE BOWL! *NM* Gaps - 15/08/2011 02:08:25 AM 377 Views
Are we surprised by this? nossy - 15/08/2011 07:05:59 PM 813 Views
I really doubt you will like Perry random thoughts - 15/08/2011 07:10:45 PM 800 Views
One never knows. nossy - 15/08/2011 07:15:21 PM 873 Views
I think he is aiming for Vice Pres *NM* Nolan - 17/08/2011 06:44:59 PM 389 Views
Works good for signs: "We Want Plenty of Romney/Pawlenty" *NM* TaskmasterJack - 17/08/2011 10:08:11 PM 379 Views
