GOP fracturing good for Bachmann?

[David Gill]

If I were telling Michelle Bachmann what to do, I would wait until after she won Iowa, and then say something to the effect of "Over the past six years we have had three change elections, and we've had the same leadership for each one. Just over a year ago the Republican party promised the Tea Party that we could trust them, that they would fight for what we believe in. Instead, in July we had one leader suggest we actually give Barack Obama MORE power so he can raise the debt ceiling whenever he wanted, and another that agreed to the end of the Bush tax cuts and a host of other tax hikes. It's time we give some REAL change a try!"

I think that might play well in New Hampshire, and to some extent the die will be cast in terms of how much the GOP can squash her. The main point I would make is, she's not going to get establishment support either way, she might as well play up her independence, which is her strength.

Then she can win New Hampshire, and Democrats can win back the House! :toast:
