Adviser: Bachmann likely to enter WH race

Tea party favorite and Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann is feeling pressure from the political calendar to rush a decision on a White House bid and may announce her intentions as early as May, one of her top advisers said Thursday.

Bachmann, a third-term congresswoman from Minnesota, could form a presidential exploratory committee before two televised Republican debates scheduled the first week of May, said Ed Brookover, a Bachmann adviser.

...

Other Republicans familiar with Bachmann's thinking said all signs point to a White House run. They insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations with Bachmann and her advisers.

Now, I don't trust anonymous sources, so not going to say anything for sure yet, but lord I do hope she runs. We have not had a good group of humor candidates for either party since 2000, when the republicans had Keyes and Bauer both running.

I think the source is correct. Jim Demint pulled out, and said he's not running. I betcha dollars to donuts he folded right after Bachmann made her announcement.

dear Lord...just who are these people who are "pressuring" her?

Surprised I am not.

I really like Alan Keyes(it's true, listening to him speak is an incredible experience, the man is a master orator and has a dry but awesome sense of humor). That does not mean he is not bat**** insane. He is, and so is Bachmann.

I didn't figure anyone would be. Don't you love the presidential election months? I can't wait for the debates to begin! :)

Bachmann is a lot smarter than Palin, but so is a bag of hammers. Bachmann, like her or not, is a pretty decent debater.
 
Mike Pence isn't running either. Bummer.

You sure she is smarter than Palin?

I have heard alot of republicans really speak highly of him, but I don't really know anything about him, which kinda suggests one problem he might have had if he ran.

what exactly do you like about her? that she thinks carbon dioxide isn't harmful? or that she believes gay marriage is the most pressing issue on the national horizon?

My favorite was her comments on Terri Schiavo, who Backmann said was perfectly healthy. Sure, she had brain damage, but she was healthy.

i have not heard her debate, but i imagine it might be pretty easy to confuse her. she's got some bat**** crazy beliefs.
 
I would rather have Bachmann than Obama. However there are people I ould much rather prefer over Bachmann.

why? you believe michele bachmann could lead us more effectively?
 
Good. I really like her! :)

I like everything she stands for, but I don't think she has what it takes to win. Also, not so sure she's be a good president. I wish I didn't feel that way.
 
this is very good news. Lets hope the Palin wing supports her if Palin does not run.

Considering Obama is a failure of a leader, I believe she would be on parr with him or better. I disagree with her on many things, but for the sake of our national debt and failure of a president I think it would be better to have her than Obama. Although given the choice between her and others I would much rather pick others.

I can see his point. Obama has been mediocre to kinda bad as president. The best you can say is he has underachieved. Bachmann would likely not do much worse, but damn she would be more entertaining doing it. Let's face it, Obama is boring, and those words are never used about Bachmann.

I agree with you. Although rethinking things I'm afraid Bachmann may make a disaster of our healthcare system. I think she may be better when it comes to spending, but I think she would be a puppet of the Republican Party. She's kinda like the Jo Biden of the Republicans.

i think she would do much, much worse. i can't imagine justices picked by bachmann, and i can't imagine bachmann having the ability to wade through foreign policy. yes, obama hasn't been great, but lord almighty, he's been faced with so many challenges. and crises not of his making.
