S.E. Cupp wonders why this wouldn't impress.
Imagine that you're a political consultant hired by a presidential campaign. Your candidate is young, smart and attractive, and has a fervent fan base.
The candidate has got it all - a bachelor's degree and two law degrees, one in tax law; five years of experience as a U.S. Treasury Department attorney in U.S. Tax Court; 10 years of combined experience in a state legislature and the U.S. House of Representatives, and an all-American family that includes five children of her own, a farm and 23 foster children.
That should be a dream candidate, right? But for some reason, the prospect of a Michele Bachmann presidency has failed to garner the respect it deserves. By that I mean any respect whatsoever."
CPAC is evidently impressed. Once Jim DeMint backed out of his slot as the conference's kick-off speaker, she was tapped to take his place.
She'll be addressing the conference this Thursday at 9:15 AM.
