A Quick Note on Michele Bachmann

As a general rule, I don’t cover campaigns and campaigning in this space, but in light of tonight’s Republican presidential debate I wanted to float a suggestion: if Michele Bachmann does not attack Rick Perry, who is at the front of the pack in most recent polls, we have to wonder about her objectives. Is she angling to be Perry’s running mate if he wins the nomination? 

P.S. Wow. I think it’s safe to say that Michele Bachmann “drew down” on the governor, as we used to say in my hometown.
