Palin's actually smarter than many people give her credit for. She just doesn't *speak* coherently, especially compared to Bachmann. I wouldn't give Bachmann smart points over Palin. Smarts aside, Bachmann is basically a nutcase. Her positions are *much* more extreme than Palin's, and a lot of the time she really doesn't know what the hell she's talking about-- again, more so than Palin, even. See here for a sampling: http://factcheck.org/2011/06/bachmanns-waterloo/ It's often not clear whether people like Bachmann are confused or deluded, or are deliberately telling falsehoods. Whichever is the case, she tells a boatload of 'em. She gives so many people the collywobbles, including some Republicans, that I don't think she has much chance of winning the Republican nomination. It's almost too bad, because if she did, she'd be just about guaranteed to lose the election (although she might end up as the VP candidate if Perry were to win the presidential nomination). As to your friends who say she's a "breath of fresh air," it's hard to know how to respond. What have they been breathing up till now, mustard gas?
