I have to say...and don't read too much into this...I'm becoming a Michele Bachmann fan. Not because of her policies and not that I'd ever support her. Yeah, she's batty as hell sometimes, but she's not letting the media bait her into playing the victim and petty sniping. She's keeping her eye on the ball and pressing forward in a very serious way. I can respect that.

I suspect she'll only get stronger as the campaign rolls along. Is she smarter or a better politician than, say, Mitt Romney? Probably not, but I think people feel she's authentic.

So while the liberal media will make hay of her gaffes and try to diminish her candidacy, it's just a reminder to those that support her, as well as those who are thinking about it, that she's not your typical packaged Washington candidate. She needs a little polishing and she'll give old Mittens a run for his money.
