On Fox News last night, Glenn Beck eschewed Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich (whom he characterized as "big government Republicans") for a former star.
"The person that I would vote for is Michele Bachmann."
Okay.
But.
"I can't tell you why Michele Bachmann isn't connecting with the American people."
This interview happened nearly 24 hours ago, and in a different time (like last year), I would've found time to put it up immediately, but Beck is just way less relevant to the conversation than he was when he had his Fox show.
Also, he's clearly not intending to do much promotion for Bachmann's cause, which he seems to grudgingly understand is a lost one.
Right now, Bachmann needs conservatives to believe she can win, and if even her biggest name backer is somewhat hopeless, then you can imagine the lethargy throughout.
