It seems the more conservative and female you are, the more you rile up the liberal press. Inside the Beltway the press has cast all common sense aside in order to allow themselves to ruthlessly attack Bachman. Their credibility goes out the window in an effort to hang a candidate that is likely to do their work for them given the opportunity. Remember, Bachman is one of those politicians who believes her own hype and has a penchant for saying really stupid things when it suits the moment.
Yesterday's attack on Bachman was aimed at her legislative experience. The liberal reporters took the attacks republicans used on a first term senator from Illinois in 2007 and reapplied them to Bachman. The only problem with the press' move on Bachman is that they were dead quiet on Obama's own experience back when he was on the hot plate and being accused of the same inexperience. It seems that inexperience is only something a Republican can suffer from.
Any expectation of a "fair" media has long left me, but I do expect them not to blatantly reverse themselves when it suits them.
Be sure to know that Bachman will talk her way out of this race. I do not question her conservative credentials, but I do question her ability to display them in a manner that will inspire people to vote for her.
