2. Here are the basics of what I got out of his statements:

Markos' points:
(Caveat: no one new enters the race)
1. People underestimate the influence the Tea Party has and will continue to have on the Republican Party.
2. Bachmann is rising in the polls in NH & IA.
3. "No more McCains" is the predominant mantra among online conservatives.
4. Bachmann fits the "true believer" mold that many on the right want. Romney doesn't.
5. Bachmann is one of the top fundraisers & speakers.
6. She will do very well in IA caucuses.
7. Romney will undoudtedly take NH, because it's his backyard, but a close 2nd will be like a win for Bachmann.
8. Nevada - caucuses (Bachmann wins).
9. SC governor is a Bachmann clone (Bachmann wins).

3. Thank you

She has no substance behind her words
Has no clear plan, except to tear down, does not know how to build

I just want her out of Minnesota and the House
I do not feel she can win the Presidency

5. #10 (not one of his statements)

If Bachmann is elected her husband will be the de facto President.
