Day By Day, Michele Bachmann, Mike Huckabee, Mitch Daniels, Mitt Romney, President 2012, Sarah Palin
Day By Day May 17, 2011 – The Real Individual Mandate
Chris, I have for months downplayed the notion that Sarah Palin will run for the 2012 Presidency. Now, I am not so sure.
With Mike Huckabee out, there is a vacuum for social conservatives on the RIGHT. Michele Bachmann is ramping up her campaign and she has the conservative cred but she cannot ignite a crowd like Sarah Palin.
Ultimately, it may be a Mitch Daniels Vs. Mitt Romney contest for the moderate candidate and Bachmann Vs. Palin for the conservative. This will be the semi-final contest and we may have to wait until late next spring to see who wins – maybe even the convention itself.
It will be a bumpy ride for the GOP and exciting at the same time.
