I think Marcus Bachmann may turn out to be a smoking gun

Iowa reporters denied access after questioning Bachmann about ‘ex-gay’ therapy | The Washington Independent

Something tells me that Michelle Bachmann has a liability with the initials MB. I am trying to remember when I have felt this as strongly. Nothing is coming. Not Todd Palin or anyone else. In fact the political figures lately have been sinking themselves solo. Wiener for example. But in the case of Michelle, she is shaky anyway. I think her Waterloo may be the media-averse Marcus.

"Sto Perigiali" One of the Surpassingly Best Tunes Theodorakis Has Written

Obama Ads Should Be Grass Roots Cinema Verite

ShortFormContent at Blogger: How President Obama Can Win Christian Conservatives:

'via Blog this'

To counter the invidious efforts of Karl Rove and the Brothers Koch, simple videos of everyday people expressing gratitude for specific results from specific things that the President has achieved will create a signature response that will turn the tables on the Super PACs.
