Bachmann: I consider Sarah Palin a friend, not a competitor

As much as Stephanopoulos was trying to pit Michele Bachmann against Sarah Palin in this interview, Bachmann refused to play his game and instead said that there is not only plenty of room in this presidential race for Palin (or any candidate), but also that she views Sarah Palin as a friend and not a competitor. When asked what is the one thing that makes her different from Palin, Bachmann said she doesn’t compare herself to other conservatives but rather to Barack Obama.

Class act.

    This is one super intelligent classy lady, I still don’t understand her vote for the patriot act without putting limitations on it. It’s abuse in being used for political purposes gives them legal rights to pull a Watergate. Yes, the libs are going crazy over Palin, by the time the story loaded on fox’s site awhile ago there were 67 more comments, mostly liberals spewing their hatred of her, what a world!?!? The LSM has backed off trying to make Bachmann look stupid, it just didn’t stick. 2012 can’t come soon enough.

    I am excited to get this info. Thank you.

    Wow! imagine a woman for President!!

    Personally, lovely and intelligent and effective as Michelle is, I like Sarah because she is able to bring far more energy.

    Is there room for both M.Bachmann and S.Palin? What a silly question. There’s ALWAYS room for two fabulous ladies with brains, heart and the ability to reason.

    Palin / Bachmann Republican Presidential ticket, is the only winning ticket for America’s rescue and restoration of Freedom, Liberty, Prosperity, and a govt. “Of the People, By the People, and For the People.!!

    If Palin were to run, I would most likely support her but I want to hear what she has to say on specific policy issues(not what the pundits or her supporters say she says) But, Bachmann, I’m sure she is a very nice lady but her support for the extension of the Patriot Act is a deal breaker in my eyes.(and yes,I did watch the clip of her explaining her vote)
