...An adviser to Rep. Michele Bachmann sends over this fairly ruffles-smoothing statement: “The Congresswoman has nothing but admiration and respect for Governor Palin. The two enjoy a good friendship, and Rep. Bachmann looks forward to working with the Governor for the common goal of making...

This is a follow-up to my post yesterday, Michele Bachmann's First Big Mistake - Hiring Ed Rollins, regarding Rollins out-of-the-gate attacks on Sarah Palin:Hiring Rollins is an enormous mistake for Bachmann. It could be campaign killing. The people who hate Palin are the same people...

As I've said before, I like Michele Bachmann.   Not surprisingly, Bachmann has come under the same types of snide attack as Sarah Palin from the mainstream media, entertainment industry and left-blogosphere.  There is a special place reserved for conservative women in the Democratic toolkit of mockery and derision.But Bachmann...

on his reelection, including 18 fundraisers between April 4 and May 23, plus 4 more in June.At this rate, his golf game surely is going to suffer.  When will he get his priorities straight?It's time for ...

I've been dreading this day, because even when I asked you to tell me about other candidates, you told me about Mitt Romney.While the MSM tells us that Sarah Palin is the most divisive Republican, I don't think that's true in the Republican primaries.Please hold...

Marc Ambinder serves as the Obama campaign messenger of the day, with an uncritical account of what Team Obama supposedly believes as to the Republican field.  You will not be surprised to find that Team Obama was most concerned with a candidate who is not running:Gov....

No not Newt. The hype about Dems running ads in 2012 with Newt's criticisms of Paul Ryan is way overblown.It's Ben Nelson, Democrat from Nebraska, who is running for reelection and splitting with his party over the mandate:Don't expect much to be made of Nelson's...

Yawn.  Chuck "my flight attendant is a bitch and Scott Brown is an far-right teabagger" Schumer is threatening to use Newt's criticism of Paul Ryan in the 2012 election cycle.That should make a big difference.  Just like this statement by a prominent Republican candidate ruined...

I like Michele Bachmann.  I also "liked" her Facebook page, which is surging in popularity.Bachmann is fearless.  Bachmann is target no. 2 for the MSM, the entertainment industry, and left-blogosphere, which mock her as stupid, much as they mock Sarah Palin.  To them, what we need is someone like our brilliant President who plays golf, shoots hoops,...
