Poll question: Who of these three are actually running for the GOP Nomination?
Edited on Tue Apr-12-11 11:41 AM by onehandle
I believe that only one of the three is running. The other two are just in it for publicity.

I wish it were all three and that all three made it to the GOP debates.

All are distractions.

4. Only Romney and Huckabee will run
The ticket will be Romney / Huckabee, and they will be smoked.

5. I think Bachman might be sincere in her attempt.

Trump has always just enjoyed publicity. Palin is using it in a vain attempt to remain relevant to bolster book sales and speaking fees. But, I'm inclined to think that her fifteen minutes are almost up; and will be up by the time of the primaries. Bachman is a slightly different matter. If she's not sincere, what is her motive? As a sitting member of the House and chairman of a large, vocal caucus, she doesn't need the candidacy to get attention. Unless, she really thinks she can do it! Now, any rational mind can see that she stand's less than a snowball's chance of succeeding. However, I doubt she has a rational mind. And in her delusions, she thinks that the majority of American's would gladly flock to her banner. Yup. She's really crazy; and really wants the Presidency.

edit to add: Also, she is very politically ambitious. A trait that Palin really doesn't have.

6. I agree with you
Palin is too lazy to run for president, but Bachmann is crazy enough to think she has a chance. Unlike most republicans, I think she believes most of the crap she spews out.
