>>I would certainly reverse the order of that ticket--although I do realize politically the appeal of these candidates to the right is probably demands the opposite. There's a certain amount of loopiness one can tolerate in a VP.

I disagree with Bachmann's politics, but think she is consistent in her views and well spoken and miles ahead of Palin Intellectually.<<

Vinter -

Saying Bachmann is miles ahead of Palin intellectually is equivalent to damning her with faint praise. And Bachmann's problem isn't that she's dumb. It's more that she's a bit of a nutjob.

As for the order of the ticket, I don't disagree that it would make sense on many levels. But Palin has far greater name recognition. She's also unlikely to accept a VP nomination. She's been there and done that.
