One thing that's pretty clear to me is that BOBO's team is most worried about Mitt at this point.

Mitt and Huckabee have the least dirt on them, they'll be harder to take down. Mitt has perception as well as he looks quite presidential. Obama is probably hoping for Mitt to get destroyed in the primary.

If Romney could actually make it through the primaries undamaged, then yes he'd be the biggest threat, but right now, it looks like he has no chance, and if he tacks right to win the primary, he'll toast himself for the general

Face it, Obama has already won

I'll take 4 more years of Obama, thanks.

See those Bachmann numbers are edging on Palin's numbers now albiet Palin's popularity has fallen.

Her appeal isn't widespread, for her name recognition anyways...

Bachmann is a much better candidate than Palin, in my opinion. Smart, articulate and knows a wide range of policy.

Still would like to see a seasoned Governor run. We've clearly seen senators and do not make good chief executives so i wouldn't want to risk that with another member of congress.

If I was going to seriously look at her, her Foreign Policy experience is lacking vs. other Republican candidates.

What evidence is there that governors make better presidents than senators? Don't confuse ideological disagreement with administrative skill.
