If Sarah Palin enters the 2012 presidential race, she may face a woman who also has tea party backing and an accent that evokes the frozen north. Would Michele Bachmann have the edge?
It’s looking more and more like Sarah Palin is going to run for president. She’s touring historic sites on the East Coast this weekend in a big bus tour, for instance. Who’d brave Memorial Day traffic for that? Someone who wants as much publicity as possible for a very special upcoming announcement, that’s who.
But here’s a question: If Ms. Palin gets in, will she be competing with her own Mini-Me? Will she face a woman very much like her, with tea party backing and an accent reminiscent of the frozen north?
It appears that would be the case. We’re talking about Michele Bachmann, of course. She’s the congresswoman from Minnesota who delivered the tea party response to President Obama’s State of the Union address.
