Meet The Candidates: 2012 GOP Thread

[12thMan]

Nasty rumors floating around about Rick Perry. If he jumps in, I'm sure it will come up whether it's true or not.

So the Obama campaign just released a statement attacking Michele Bachmann's voting record. Nothing big about that except they didn't do that for either Romney or Pawlenty

The gay rumor, or something else?

Not sure if the Obama strategy is the right thing, better to let the far lefties (or the DNC controlled media MSNBC, CBS, ABC J/K) do the hit pieces on Bachmann. Could backfire with independent/moderate women.

It only backfires if it's dirty false information. Bachmann is a treasure trove of nutso nuggets. I know one thing for sure, team Obama is interested in hyping and raising her profile in the hopes of running against her in the general election. If they can't have Palin, Bachmann will do just fine.

Agreed. I would love for Bachmann to win the primary.

The Republican party would get badly embarrassed in the general election.
