Bachmann is done

[samuel]

Honestly, for all her rhetoric ("I'm the one who lead on the debt ceiling!"), I could see her endorsing Paul. Don't know that it'll happen, but I could see it.

Is the press conference over yet?

 

[PastaRocket848]

so she officially dropped out?

good... it's about time.

 

[Badger Paul]

Somehow reality must have gotten to her.

I'm glad she is dropping out, she wastes so much time at the debates.

Thank God...one less War-mongering Harpy! I was seriously considering skipping the next debates because I want to put my computer through a wall at all this Iran BS. Now we'll only have to hear it from Slick Rick, Frothy, and Newt.

On a lighter note, I'm sure Bachmann's supporters will flock to Perry. Didn't Perry tweet that he's back in the race after this announcement?

Endorsements are huge political capital. She doesn't have much of that right now so (as I've been saying) she won't be endorsing anyone right now. There isn't anyone for her to endorse (Santorum and she alienates her supporters, Romney and she's "just another one of the establishment", Ron Paul... Right after she called him 'dangerous' for weeks, etc...) so she will hold that card for some time and IF she endorses anyone it will probably be much later on when it can help push someone over the edge in a very close match up. She'll get something for her endorsement if she waits and uses it when it can have an impact. Right now it would be like giving it away for free.

How do you know that... Throw in the fact that he will flip flop...

Mitt never really talks about this kind of stuff. Just listen to their speeches from last night.

Somehow reality must have gotten to her.

She seems delusional enough to believe she has a chance at a VP spot. What's funny about that is she damaged herself so much in Iowa that nobody would take a chance on her. She'll be looked at like political kryptonite right now. That will wear off, but it may not be for a while.

The saddest thing about Bachmann, was her speech last night. She went through the list of attributes the ideal candidate should have. Every single point she made except foe Israel sounded like she was talking about Ron. Now she is going to go and endorse someone completely outside of those points JUST to get the Israel issue addressed. So sad how principles are so easily bought.


$$ money money money money........MON-AY! $$$

They criticized Romney too much to endorse him IMO. I could see Perry endorsing Newt and Bachmann endorsing Santorum though.

The media has a very big memory hole. Past actions mean nothing. They were running cover for Romney, content with their day in the sun.

Good, maybe Huntsman will fall on his face in New Hampshire an we can get rid of him also.

 

[matt0611]

Good, maybe Huntsman wall fall on his face in New Hampshire an we can get rid of him also.

Hunstman is one and done in NH. As long as we keep him a distant third IMO.

What great news!

Now we just have to wait until January 11th for the others to drop out...

Until then the next debate is on Saturday

This is good news for Minnesota. Paul could win all the delegates here (he won half in 2008). Most of the Bachmann supporters are tea party and should switch to Paul.
