Obama Vs Bachmann

[DonCoquixote]

I see some people wishing Bachmann gets the nomination, since they think Obama would win.

Folks: this is dangerous, let us NOT forget two things:

One, no one ever got broke underestimating American stupidity.
Two, the billionaires would flood her coffers.
Three, The Xtians would flood the polls
Four, The MSM would support her,
Five, the PUmas, Jane Hamsher included, would use her to say "see, you shoulda voted for hillary!"

1. yeah but all of that is going to happen regardless. remember

repugs called sen. kerry a deserter and said he shot himself. if you will go there anything is possible.

[glinda]

2. A good friend of hers says "do not underestimate her". I personally know that she is

dangerous being from mid-MN. She has a ton of money that no one can seem to find the source from.
One source of funding would give her the name "Chamber-maid".

[DonCoquixote]

nods

and now, she does not even need to explain that money. Al-qaida could fund her, and we could not trace it.

[glinda]

19. Notice she is the last Repub filing her amounts? She does that on purpose.

3. I agree you are right about the underestimation of the publics stupidity.

However, I think she will be toast before then. I feel sure that she carries way too much baggage, we just haven't found it yet.

4. ... President Barack Obama tops all leading GOP White House hopefuls, hitting the all-important

50-percent mark against every candidate but Romney:

47 - 41 percent over Romney ...
50 - 38 percent over Bachmann ...
53 - 34 percent over Sarah Palin ...
50 - 37 percent over Perry ...

5. serious republicans don't want her to get the nomination. this will be interesting.

[AlinPA]

7. "Serious republicans" don't matter any more. The teabaggers run their sideshow now.

[AlinPA]

6. She could run with Rubio and win.

[DonCoquixote]

8. EEP

That could be scary, especially as Rubio could hand florida to her. And Rubio is actually to her right.

9. I have three words for any who underestimate American stupidity:

George. Bush. Twice.

[Cereal Kyller]

10. President Ronald Reagan

Remember how Carter's team was just itching to have such an "easy" opponent in 1980?

[DonCoquixote]

18. If I could K and r that reply

I would

[cali]

11. nope. she's not electable.

and the MSM will not support her.

[Bandit]

12. Of all the Republican candidates I would like to see her get the nomination the most

Everything you said would apply to each and every Republican candidate, even Romney. Bachman on the other hand is just too looney for regular Americans. She may fit in among the Republican loonies but she sure as hell does not among normal Americans..

13. Obama by a landslide!!!

Next question.

[Broderick]

14. Even stupidity could be overcome

in this matchup. Seriously.

[Rex]

15. I agree, specially since Bachmann Turnip Overblown thinks

the Founders eradicated slavery! Even Palin with her Revere flub would do better! All Obama has to do during the debates is wait until she finishes saying whatever batshit thing she is going to say, then turn to the camera and say, 'this is the best they could do'? With an incredulous look on his face!!!

[Broderick]

17. I watched an interview

on some Sunday show. I was shocked. She wouldn't answer questions. She was taken to task over important policy things she spouted in the past and was so far wrong yet wouldn't correct herself. I could care less about the flubs on certain things, because all do it, but to deflect and deny and deride the questions to legitimate things in government that are her own words was scary. I am not one to pound on her taking in foster kids, etc. But, just listen to her grasp on policy and it's like, whoa.

16. I'm not so much worried about 4 and 5

But Murdoch and the Kochs having their own puppet in the White House...they LOVED it when Bush Lite was
in there, asking for permission to go to the John (well, maybe on THAT one, he really WAS the decider).

I'm sure they long for a return to the days of yore...........

If Obama can't poll 70-20 against Palin and Bachmann, our country has had a lobotomy and doesn't know it.
