Bachmann Supporters Bitching

[Judas BentHer]

We saw the nightmare that was Palin and those who wanted to put her in the White house as second in command, under McCain. That didn't happen. Michele Bachmann isn't any different. She can run, she'll inspire Tea's and some Republicans, but she'll never make the cut much less take the seat from Obama.

I see Bachmann in it for the money, just as Palin was. The money and in making the effort she pretty much insures she'll retain her Senate seat due to the loyalty of those who wanted to see her in the White house, but instead will settle for having her representation in the Senate.

And regarding the OP, the cover shot of MB is said to have been captured during a lighting test before the photo shoot began. Newsweek is saying they chose that image to capture her intensity, because other candid shots of her show her eyes, which are about as intense as that cover shot.

The other images taken of her as potential candidates themselves for the Newsweek cover are found here.

This one, in my opinion, would have been perfect for the Newsweek cover.
It captures everything she's portrayed herself to be as a representative of the GOP.
I do think Newsweek intended to portray her in a bad light. Especially with the banner beneath her picture. And I agree with the critics of that cover editors decision to run that particular picture, that they would have never portrayed a male candidate, from either party, in the same way. Banner included.





But banner or no, controversy due to sexism by Newsweek not withstanding, she's still a nightmare when I think of her as President.
