Sarah Palin put herself in the corner, promoting herself relentlessly. Now, too many people have found out what they don't like about her. That's not true of Bachmann. Yet.
And I did. Don't count her out yet WH. Nobody puts baby in a corner.

"That's not true of Bachmann"
?? Bachmann is WELL-KNOWN, and INfamous for her bat crazy evangelical-driven/Biblical crap as "politics". Like pitbull , Bachmann is somewhat telegenic with some charisma beyond her dog whistling to "Christian" crazies.
worth repeating:
(1) BACHMANN WARNED ‘THE LION KING’ WAS GAY PROPAGANDA: At the November 2004 EdWatch National Education Conference, Bachmann said the “normalization” of sexuality would lead to “desensitization”: “Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders, is take a picture of ‘The Lion King’ for instance, and a teacher might say, ‘Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?’ The message is: I’m better at what I do, because I’m gay.”
(2) BACHMANN CLAIMED ABOLISHING THE MINIMUM WAGE WOULD CREATE JOBS: While testifying in front of the Minnesota Senate in 2005, Bachmann said, “Literally, if we took away the minimum wage — if conceivably it was gone — we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level.” This isn’t remotely true. Even simply reducing the minimum wage would, as Paul Krugman noted, “ at best do nothing for employment; more likely it would actually be contractionary.”
(3) BACHMANN CLAIMED THAT SCIENTISTS ARE SUPPORTERS OF INTELLIGENT DESIGN: During a 2006 debate, Bachmann said,“There are hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes, who believe in intelligent design.” This was, and is, not true.
(4) BACHMANN CLAIMED TERRI SCHIAVO WAS ‘HEALTHY’: Not long after Terri Schiavo died, Bachmann said she would have voted for the Palm Sunday Compromise because Schiavo “was healthy. She had brain damage — there was brain damage, there was no question. But from a health point of view, she was not terminally ill.” An autopsy found that Schiavo had suffered irreversible brain damage and her brain, said the medical examiner, was “profoundly atrophied.”
(5) BACHMANN LIKENED VISITING IRAQ TO VISITING MALL OF AMERICA: In 2007, Bachmann returned from a junket to Iraq and told her colleagues, “[T]here’s a commonality with the Mall of America, in that it’s on that proportion. There’s marble everywhere. The other thing I remarked about was there is water everywhere.” As ThinkProgress do ented at the time, the comparison was preposterous.
(6) BACHMANN CLAIMED THAT CARBON DIOXIDE IS ‘HARMLESS’: In 2008, a Stanford scientist revealed “direct links” between increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and “increases in human mortality” — globally, he found that as many as “20,000 air-pollution-related deaths per year per degree Celsius may be due to this greenhouse gas.” The next year, Bachmann, who is not a scientist, said that “carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.”
(7) BACHMANN CALLED FOR A CONGRESSIONAL WITCH HUNT: Pivoting off the news of Barack Obama’s alleged relationship to former Weather Underground member William Ayers, and his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bachmann accused the candidate of having “anti-American views.” She then suggested that Congressional liberals — including Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid — ought to be subject to “an exposé” by the media because of their views. “I think people would love to see like that,” she told a stunned Chris Matthews.
(8) BACHMANN SUGGESTED GAY SINGER SHOULD REPENT AFTER GETTING CANCER:Bachmann saw Melissa Etheridge’s cancer as a teachable moment: “Unfortunately she is now suffering from breast cancer, so keep her in your prayers,” she said in November 2004. “This may be an opportunity for her now to be open to some spiritual things, now that she is suffering with that physical disease. She is a lesbian.”
(9) BACHMANN BOASTED ABOUT BREAKING THE LAW: In advance of the 2010 national Census, Bachmann told The Washington Times that she would break the law by not completing the forms. “I know for my family, the only question we will be answering is how many people are in our home,” she said. “We won’t be answering any information beyond that, because the Cons ution doesn’t require any information beyond that.”
(10) BACHMANN CLAIMED THAT GLENN BECK COULD SOLVE THE DEBT CRISIS: During a February trip to South Carolina, Bachmann told a South Carolina audience, “I think if we give Glenn Beck the numbers, he can solve this [the national debt].”

Dominionist Battle Cry "We are the Head and Not the Tail" Used by Bachmann in Debate
Deuteronomy 28:13, "The Lord will make you the head and not the tail," has been adopted by the apostles and prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation as a theme for the Charismatic "dominionist" movement. The wording is often slightly altered to "We are the head and not the tail," and used as the battle cry for the Reclaiming the Seven Mountains campaign to take dominion over seven areas - arts and entertainment, business, education, family, government, media, and religion.

Is that what you Conspiracy Theorist web sites say?
How many people in the USA pay attention to the same materiel you do?
Bachmann gets plenty play on TV, esp cable channels.
and she'll get more play on media with showings like this:
Republicans Romney and Bachmann lead Iowa poll
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/06/2...e+Raw+Story%29
Calling out the bat crazy for her bat crazy positions and bat crazy "religion"? Plenty easy to follow for any adult who takes his politics seriously.
Of course 50% of America doesn't give a about politics, and they pay the price everyday as the Repugs/VRWC America deeper into a hole every day.
...isn't a big fan, but Bachmann has certain skills. tURNING GAFFES INTO SYMPATHY, notably.
George W Bush is a past master of the discipline, going all the way back to when he beat Ann Richards in 1994.
Bachmann? gaffes? she knows exactly and says exactly what she wants, she dog-whistles with the best, not at all the flubby dubya or the the fractured, confused stream-of- ness of pitbull .
says NY has the states right to allow gay marriage, but she has the objective to deny states that right, legislating/imposing her bull invasive ethics by amending the Cons ution
Bachmann would back amendment to overturn NY marriage law
On Sunday, GOP presidential contender Rep. Michele Bachmann said she would support a federal cons utional amendment which would overturn New York state's new law legalizing gay marriage and similar laws in other states.

I say we solve the problems for everyone by getting the government out of marriage.
Six faced Machiavelli, then?
Michele Bachmann Lies About Profiting From Govt Subsidized Dairy Farm
Number two, regarding the farm, the farm is my father-in-law’s farm. It’s not my husband and my farm. It’s my father-in-law’s farm. And my husband and I have never gotten a penny of money from the farm.
Michele Bachmann actually told two lies to Chris Wallace. She claimed that the farm belonged to her father in law, but what she didn’t say is that she was and still is a partner in the farm. Bachmann also stated that she or husband never made a penny from the family dairy farm, but her financial disclosure forms report that from 2006-2009 she made $32,503-$105,000 in profit off of the farm.

I think you should note that there were "Farms" under the name of "Bachmann Farm Familiy LP." You should also note the subsidies came for the corn farms, not the dairy farms. The article is about Dairy Farm subsidies.
Her financial statements do show profit ranges as listed in the article.
