Hold onto your mukluks Ex-Governor Palin -- your old Mama Grizzly buddy-roo and fellow Tea-Partier Michele Bachmann has set her sights on an Oval Office run in 2012. Or will you two tea-partiers team up or tag-team until one of you runs out of gas?
I have been trying to find out if Bachmann's announcement has caused any schism between her and Palin, or between their factions within the Tea Party itself. So far, nothing has turned up.
Bachmann, the three-term congresswoman from Minnesota, is well-known for her doctrinaire conservatism, and her bizarre views like: "homosexuality is a dysfunction," or that President BHO is "turning America into a nation of slaves." Rep. Bachmann makes liberals perhaps even crazier than her pal, the Ex-Governor.
Which will it be? Or will they go head-to-head?
Conservatives like Shannon Bell of Right Pundits think Bachmann would, at the very least, make for a spirited contest: "She's unbelievable when it comes to raising money. She has impeccable conservative credentials. Liberals hate her guts. The Tea Party adores her, and she's not afraid to take on the establishment."
The often hilarious Andy Borowitz tweeted when this first came out: "Michele Bachmann would be an awesome presidential candidate for people who find Sarah Palin too brainy."
