Bachmann officially enters race

[SuperHornet]

I firmly believe that not only will Sarah win, she'll be the best President in history!

Actaully, you don't. Or you would have accepted my challenge.....offer still stands....put up or shut up about Palin...

I've seen no such "offer."

"PRINCETON, NJ -- Forty-four percent of registered voters say they are more likely to vote for "the Republican Party's candidate" and 39% for Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election, according to Gallup's June update........."

SH...I've got a proposal for you...I'll place $100 in a paypal account administered by anyone else on this site if you'll do the same. I'll take Obama vs. the entire Republican field except Chris Christie (I don't think he'll run but I would vote for him) and he'll do it without my vote as I didn't vote for him in '08. I feel sure I'll win the bet & I'll donate my winnings to Chris for the site. You game? I'll even throw in an extra $100 if he is defeated by Palin....

Gallup poll finds Obama deadlocked in race with generic Republican
The Hill ^ | 2/17/2011 | Jordan Fabian

A new Gallup poll found registered voters are split over whether they would vote for President Obama in 2012.
Asked if they would vote for Obama or a generic Republican next year, 45 percent said they would support Obama and 45 percent said they would vote for the GOP candidate.

The results of the generic ballot survey are virtually unchanged from last year, when Obama held a slight two-point edge over a generic Republican.
But the poll suggests Obama is more vulnerable than former President George W. Bush at this point in his presidency.
When Gallup polled voters in 2003 to test Bush's reelection prospects, the Texas Republican led a generic Democrat 47-39 percent.

The Gallup poll also showed Obama with strong support from women and minorities, two of his key constituencies from his successful 2008 campaign. But young people have increasingly shied away from the president: Fifty-one percent of registered voters between the ages of 18 and 34 said they would vote for Obama, compared to 63 percent who backed him in a 2008 Gallup pre-election poll.

________________________________________

It's always easy to say you'd vote for "the other" guy when it's generic, but replace "Generic Republican" with Palin or Newt or Romney or Pawlenty or etc.....and I'd like my chances winning the bet SH won't take me up on. I won't vote for Obama, but I'd bet my mortgage he'll win a 2nd term (barring him being caught in an airport bathroom tapping the foot of a 12-yr old boy).

My experience is the oppoite. Every semi-rational conk and chick I know can't stand her because she sets both of their causes back a long way.

Same here. Palin's a punch line with most of the women I know & and sexual fantasy & nothing more with most of the men (& women....this is Asheville). I don't know where you live SH, but it's definitely an anomoly if Palin is as popular as you claim. And short of Chris Christie running or an Obama pedophile sex scandal, he's a shoo-in for re-election now that unemployment dropped below 9%. His popularity was in the High '40's / low '50's with unemployment over 9%....logic would tell you that will only go higher if unemployment drops lower.

Again, I'll offer a $100 bet about Obama being re-elected (and I'm not voting for him...just being a realist). And we can make it $300 additional bet that Palin will not win regardless. I'll pay you cash if I lose....you make a donation to CS (25%) and your local animal shelter (75%) if I win. That's how strongly I feel about Palin's lack of chances to win a presidiential election....hell, I'll bet she won't get nominated tohave a chance to run....

12,000 votes... 12,000 damn votes...

wouldn't it just KILL you if she unseated the h.n.i.c.?

She has looked surprisingly strong in the debates.

Against who?

[Ivytalk]

Chris Wallace, one of my favorite talking heads, asked Bachmann if she was a flake. It ignited a Fox News firestorm.

Good question, by the way. And if anyone really believes she'll be reading Von Mises on the beach, I have a used car I can sell you!

Darned right it was a good question. The "elite" media have already begun painting her as such so he teed it up for her to refute.

Quoted in the news, Bachmann has stated that neither she nor her family has benefited directly by receiving funds through the USDA and their farm subsidies. She went on to explain that all of the money went towards paying salaries of people that work for them.




Ok, so if I can get the government to give me money, to hire somebody to do my job for me, then that should not be considered a hand out by the government??

Dumb cunk.

[BlueHen86]

Yes!

Go crawl under a rock. We want to WIN in 2012, not have a circus sideshow.

Agreed. Obama could be 10 times worse than Jimmy Carter and he still gets reelected if he's running against Palin/Bachmann.

I just want a power three-way with her and Palin. As SH would say, the Gellar three-way.

Really? She may be batshit crazy, and I hate to play shoot the messenger, but an article from a liberal who hates religion on a conservative Christian? Is this really worth the time to read?
