Gosh, do you think that her style of speaking had anything to do with her free fall? Listening to her speak invoked memories of me listening to my 2nd grade teacher lecture while a rambunctious classmate ran his fingernails across the chalkboard.
The problem with this country is that Republican politicians talk to citizens as if we were stupid.

Bachmann is a ditz. She got in because Palin dawdled. The GOP ("conservative") was looking for anyone other than Romney - hence, "flavors of the week" that came and went. Santorum is it now, but he has no chance of winning a general. What a bunch of misfits - far right wingnuts, and we'll end up with Romney vs Obama which is like Obama vs Obama.

Maybe God told her to drop out.

This woman has no substance. There is just nothing there. Flag waving in front of a church does not make you qualified to run for POTUS. What ever votes she received were for her religious position. The most pathetic outcome is she is not even smart enough to understand why she got so few votes. It was ludicrous that she got as far as she did. She perfectly demonstrates that there is no Republican Party anymore. Everyone is just doing their own thing.
