Bachmann VS Palin
Michele Bachmann says Media wants a ‘mud wrestling fight’ with Palin:
Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann claimed Wednesday that the media is rooting for a catfight between her and Sarah Palin. “They want to see two girls come together and have a mud wrestling fight, and I am not going to give that to them,” Bachmann told a voter Wednesday who asked about her relationship with the former Alaska governor.
Well she’s right – the media is always looking for a cat fight, it’s tabloid journalism as it’s finest. But she is only half right – the real power brokers of the Republican party want a Bachmann- Palin cat fight to split the crazy vote and pave the way to a Romney victory – the only Republican who has a chance to defeat Obama.

With the direction the Circus we call American Politics is headed, mud wrestling is DEFINITELY a viable option! Palin may be dumb as a box of rocks but hey, she’s H-O-T and that’s all that matters, right? Help Sarah help herself and keep reading and looking. She’s making millions off selling her image, because it sure isn’t her wit that’s getting her this far. You can see just how scandalous she can get at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/06/ecstasy-of-sarah-palin_15.html
I’m appalled that I’m starting to like MB. I mean, not any of her policy positions at all, but she’s answering non-policy questions pretty darn well so far…
Actually, she became remarkable as of the first GOP debate because she answered policy questions well, too. (Even if you don’t like the answers) She was anticipated (with queasiness and regret ahead of time) to fail miserably, either be crankish or otherwise be wrong. She wasn’t.
I don’t see her as the nominee, not even likely as the VP choice as it would probably be perceived as a repetition of McCain-Palin (which introduces the tokenism or exploitation charge). [shrug] Right now, I see any GOP nominee as a kind of sacrificial lamb; the only reason to be the nominee is if one wants the exposure not merely for fame and more fortune (Gingrich to a great extent, Palin, of course) but to have a better chance to win in 2016.
(Not that any of the current GOP field could win in 2016, that is)
