governor palin doesn't like it either. i will tell you this.ressman bachmann does not come across as the sharpest tool in the shed and has said things that appear crazy. but if you asked her what she reads every day, a question sarah palin didn't do too well at, she would tell you she reads the financial times, investors business daily and bible. that would be her answer. so she would have an answer. david is right. she could be part of the movement, very visible. she was the leading -- once governor palin stepped aside, leading female conservative voice in the country. the tea party movement itself is at a very interesting point right now. you can make the case that it's lost a lot of influence in washington. joe walsh, allen west, now michele bachmann fading from the scene, vocal and controversial faces of the early phase of the tea party in washington have moved on. the republican leadership is quite happy about that. the democrats won't like it because they raise money off that nationally. the question, a lot of these go through movements.
