The Bachmann candidacy shows once again why it's been so long since a member of the House has been elected President. For that matter, candidates from the Senate aren't that much better. In spite of all the mystery candidates being bandied about, we need to come back to reality and deal with the legitimate candidates in the GOP field that have a chance to win. There are a handfull of these, and Bachmann is not one of them. The primary process will continue and the nominee will eventually rise to the top as always. In spite of the wailing from the MSM that the GOP needs to decide on a candidate RIGHT NOW, this urgency has never been necessary before and isn't imperative now. As political junkies, it's our responsibility to educate ourselves as much as possible on the candidates qualifications and promote the one we feel is the best. Third party candidates shouldn't be considered unless one wants Obama to have a second term.
