As of this writing, Michelle Bachman is still a Presidential candidate. But I do expect her to drop out soon -- it's inevitable. Mitt Romney and Rick Perry are way out in front in money -- the cool alternative vs. the hothead.
If Republicans are smart -- [rolleyes] -- and really want to win the White House in 2012, they'll rally around the cool alternative instead of the hothead. In one debate, Romney said of Obama: "He's a nice guy, but he's gotta go." -- a much more appealing sentiment to moderate voters than the hotheaded rhetoric coming from Perry, Cain, et al. To win the election of 2012, Republicans must not stir up Obama's base and drive away moderates -- which is exactly what they are doing.
But I'll miss Michelle Bachmann.
Now, don't get me wrong. With the possible exception of Rick Santorum among the Republican candidates, a President Michelle Bachmann would most scare the stuffing out of me. Her lack of knowledge and judgment is terrifying. It's not what you know; it's what you know to be 'right' that is actually 'wrong.' A lack of knowledge can be overcome if you have the judgment to know you need to study.
But at least she had the 'cajones' to run -- unlike other people who criticized President Obama's every move as tho they were a candidate themselves but eventually decided to instead fly around the country raising millions of dollars by stirring up fear and resentment.
If Michelle Bachmann needs to raise money to pay off her campaign debt, sell a T-shirt --"Michelle Bachmann: Bigger 'Cajones' Than Sarah Palin." I'd buy one. :p
