Say what you want about Bachmann, Pawlenty is awful.

Just another Repug gov, Repugs being self-proclaimed as fiscally responsible/conservative, ended his governorship with the his state $Bs in debt, but "His platform focused on balancing the budget without raising taxes."

Not that fiscal disasters are any problem or rare for Repug governors.

Is Bachmann a front-tier candidate?
Why is everyone not attacking Romney?

Probably because he seems reasonable. Especially by comparison.

Michele Bauchmann is a bible banging cunt who's the same as Palin. She's way worse than Pawlenty.

Yes, Bachmann is frontline, polling 1 or 2 in some recent Repug polls, esp in bubba/"Christian" red-states where her flavor evangelical nuttiness is popular.

Everyone? too early for non-Repugs too attack any Repug, but all the Repugs need to get past front-runner/richest Romney if they really want the nomination. I expect most of them are just jerking off in the spotlight and/or brand building for after 2012. Having a brand obtains lucrative speaking engagements for preaching to the choir.

Distractions.

Bachman and Palin have very little in common. Except for Tea Party membership and having a vagina.

"Bachman and Palin have very little in common."

nope, their both in extremely weird "Christian" cults, which is huge part of their appeal to the bubbas and other faith-based ignorants.

So Bachmann is doing that good?
