"And to the defense of folks who did vote for Bush - there wasn't any track record they could have looked at to know he'd not be fiscally conservative."
That gives Shrub credit for actually developing a fiscal strategy- I don't think that was the case, whatsoever. He was really nothing more than a puppet to the neocon agenda, doing their bidding. When it turned to shite, they could walk away and leave Shrub holding the shite-filled bag.

That's a particularly harsh photo...makes you wonder if Bachmann's 'handlers' gave any thought to things to do/things not to do at the Fair. That image is gonna go(ne?) viral in a heartbeat.
Makes all the hoo-hah over the Newsweek cover sound silly (which it is).

Any press is good press (for the most part). Those photos will get her a lot of attention which is the goal, no?

"We may be slightly over exaggerating the potential importance of corn dog gate. Ed Rollins has been running a very tight ship, apparently the campaign doesn't see it as a problem."
That's really hard to believe. She's the darlin' of the Religious Right- even they know the significance of an image like that (though they probably headed straight home for a dozen hail Marys). Even if Rollins thinks it's not a problem with their constituency, it's frickin' red meat for her bloodthirsty opponents, and is already all over the place. (Try googling images with keywords 'Bachmann corndog'). Politics is about offense and defense- poor, poor judgement on someone's part.

I'm a minor student of Ed Rollin's career, and it is a big mistake to underestimate his skills. He has the ability to maneuver his candidates, if they will listen to him, into a position where they can take advantage of events and unexpected opportunities. Those opportunities may never come, but if they do.....
Bachmann seems so bizarre as to be impossible to take seriously to me. But I thought the same of GW Bush.

I think they must feel that the best thing to happen is for people to make a big deal of this. Once someone makes it sexual then they can fein indignation (more press). But I know nothing of Rollins' line of work. It just seems that she can't lose with the attention this "innocent" photo will bring her. Time will tell.
I do hope Rick Perry doesn't it. It would be quite the same. :)

I am hereby taking a vow not to utter a single sexual reference or even a double entendre in response to Bachmann's unfortunate corndog incident. I am swearing to stay on the high road on this one, no matter how gratuitous and laugh-out-loud hilarious the opportunities might be for taunting.
I'm gonna really try, anyway.
