Michele Bachmann served up red meat to the crowd at the Iowa conservative principles conference Saturday, slamming President Barack Obama as a Jimmy Carter retread, dissing the Mitch Daniels "truce" call for social issues, and saying she wants a "waiver" from the last two years of White House leadership.

Talking loudly and waving her hands, a pumped Bachmann used a slide presentation of various numbers — the national debt, the cost of a gallon of gas two years ago the day before Obama took office, the corporate tax rate — to make her points and pull the crowd in.

Suggesting that Iowa caucus voters had the power to halt Obama, Bachmann wrapped up her speech by asking, "Are you in? are you in for 2012?"

"I agree with you!" she said as the crowd cheered, and added, "I'm in!"

...
My speculation is that if she is in Sarah Palin will not be. They both appeal to the Tea Party constituency and Palin has said that she will run if no other conservative runs. For that reason, my speculation is that if Bachmann is in, Palin is not.

  1. I think a Bachmann-West Ticket is for me. That is me from the gut. Both of them are counter to any stereotypes. And that can be a good thing. And for all that we hold dear, NO ROMNEY!
