Ron Paul is the Rodney Dangerfield of the political arena. The media will never let him get elected and he is as exciting as a wet noodle to watch. His main problem is he lacks the understand that he need to keep what he says simple and to the point and not just go on and on.
Bachmann would end up being a puppet if she got elected. Likewise if it comes down to her versus Obama, with all the money and media behind him the strategy will be to simply make her look foolish and incompetent to lead. People would not really be voting for her but against him.
Obama can't run on a record of accomplishments. What has he done that he can say was a success that the average person could agree with?
There needs to be a line that says: None of the above!
The fact that he takes time to explain himself, the reasoning behind his motives and the abilty to back them up with facts, proves that he's the only one competent to be leader.
The rest are puppets for TPTB, or they soon will be.
So how is the media and TPTB going to combat Ron Pauls campaign...???
bachman as a tea party? I watched the tea party from the start. It started out grassroots. Seems to me though theres a few factions now. bachmans history is NOT tea party style. Not even remotely. buyer beware....
As for ron paul? honestly if he got the republican nomination and didnt win the presidency it would be because of war supporters on the right, nothing else.
I say this because I now MANY lefties who realize a president cant get EVERYTHING he wants and understand economics to know we need someone like paul to clean house....

Deep down I just feel like she has no shot head to head against Obama. Even with his completely piss poor job performance and disdain for all that is good.
I hear ya. I would still vote for Bachmann over Obummmer in a NY second.
