No invite for Michele Bachmann to Koch-funded 2012 forum for GOPers

[a kennedy]

Next month, the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity Foundation will host a forum for GOP presidential hopefuls in New Hampshire. So far, only Tim Pawlenty, Rick Santorum, and Herman Cain have confirmed their attendance, but National Journal reports Mitt Romney, Haley Barbour, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, and Mike Huckabee have also been invited.

And then there's this:

Just as noteworthy are the contenders who didn't make the cut at all, including Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., a tea party favorite.
"We're not trying to exclude Michele Bachmann by any stretch of the imagination," Lewandowski said. "What we did is we looked at the criteria of individuals back in December who had at least some media coverage as a potential candidate. It's fair to say that at that point, Michele Bachmann … hadn't had any serious press about that."

So Michele Bachmann, who says she'll decide whether she's running this summer, hasn't had any "serious press" but Herman Cain, who nobody has ever heard...

5. hermie is the ex president/founder of godfather`s pizza chain.

hermie is an afro-american who`s chain makes really crappy pizza. i guess he figured the republican party has to have a minority canidate. he has as much chance of winning any primary as the man in the moon

6. that pizza did suck

7. I hope she runs as a third party candidate

how fun would that be?!?!

[Historic NY]

8. Fourth party the Batshit Crazy candidate.

[toddwv]

9. We should work hard to make sure that she is the Republican nominee

Can you imagine Bachmann under the intense light of a presidential run? The first 6 months would consist of her team running around putting out the fire that she create.

Her campaign slogan could be:
"Well, the media obviously misinterpreted what Michelle Bachmann actually said."

[no_hypocrisy]

12. No Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump, the New York Contingent?

[old mark]

13. K&R- I hope Trump runs- I'd love to see him spend all that money and lose anyway...

might do him some good...builds character, as Mr. Santorum once said about poverty...

The GOP is lining up its most expendable assholes for 2012-they expect to lose big, and I believe they will.
