How Obama Could Win the GOP Primaries

Robert Shrum at The Week:

Bachmann more than conceivably could march through the process to an acceptance speech at the Tampa convention — and if she does, the real winner of the 2012 Republican primaries will be… Barack Obama. 

This article is pretty comical. Shrum’s political analysis consists of projecting his own ill-conceived stereotypes onto the various factions of the Republican party to construct an imaginary scenario where Bachmann is the GOP nominee. After more rambling he concludes that this result would actually be a win for Obama.

I can only hope someone of Bachmann’s caliber challenges Obama in 2012.
