Who is the latest heart-throb? Margaret Carlson handicaps the suitors at the Miami Herald. A nugget:
There was that spring fling with Donald Trump, for example. Trump was in first place back in April in a Public Policy Polling survey, clocking in at 26 percent to Romney’s 15 percent, but he was a distant memory by the time Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann burst on the scene. While Sarah Palin played hard to get, Bachmann jumped into the race with both heels. Feisty, pretty, happy to let the United States default on its debt, she climbed from 6 percent to 14 percent in a month. By Aug. 13, the party activists who flock to the Iowa Straw Poll were sufficiently in love to give Bachmann a winning 29 percent of the vote in an eight-candidate field, knocking out Bachmann’s home-state competition, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
It is rather like one of those romance comic books, isn’t it.
There’s always someone new along the Appalachian Trail.
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
