Every day it seems like I read the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. Today is no exception.
“Some aspects have to be traditional,” said the source close to [Michele] Bachmann. “You’ve got to have a media guy, you’ve got to have your political guy and your message guy. Then there is the non-traditional side. If she runs, you will see a grassroots campaign that looks like none you’ve ever seen before. It will make Barack Obama’s effort pale in comparison.”
I understand the need to put a positive spin on things for your candidate, but Michele Bachmann is not going to create a grassroots organization comparable to Barack Obama’s.
Yet, Bachmann is apparently getting enough positive feedback from voters that she is leaning more and more towards running for president. Americans generally refuse to take congresspeople seriously as presidential candidates, and I see absolutely no reason why Bachmann will be any different. But she should be a spectacle at the debates and there is a good chance that Rich Lowry will see starbursts.
I’m looking forward to her campaign.
