but i think michelle bachman isn't very quick on her feet. she doesn't think very well in an unstructured situation. but i do think she she will be very formidable. i think she'll run and i do believe she'll be a more formidable candidate than palin who i do not think will run. i think she's just teasing everybody. >> charlie: she is one person who could make a late entry, sarah palin and be effective. >> because of her name recognition and all of that, she's probably got a lonr window to decide. in the end i think she'sgoing to decide that she likes those hundred thousand dollar speeches and a the other things that come with it, thanks to john mccain. i'm betting that in the end she won't run. >> charlie: what about newt gingrich? nobody is giving him what? >> i still think under a certain scenario he could be a nominee. i'm in a pretty small group who thinks that still. >> you and callista. >> he's in a category with bachman and palin. he could have a real impact on this. i don't think either huntsman or pawlenty will be particularly inclin

after that, i will read a statement from congresswoman michele bachman. after that will go to other speakers. our first speaker is william temple, the chair of the tea party founding fathers. he is the chairman of the freedom jamboree and straw poll convention which will be held in kansas city in october. he was at time magazine's the face of the tea party and the leader of 1.9 million tpartiers who marched against obama and health-care in 2009. he is a vietnam combat veteran with the u.s. army. that is william temple. the second speaker is the editor and founder and chief executive officer of wnd.com andwnd books. he is a nationally syndicated columnist and author of the tea party manifesto and other books. our third speaker is the chief economist for first trust advisers in wheaton, illinois. he's a for -- a former chief economist for joint economic committee of the u.s. congress and a member of the academic advisory council of the federal reserve bank of chicago. our fourth speaker is dr. daniel j. mitchell's, a senior fellow at the cato institute and

and we're seeing something of michelle bachman. another person from minnesota, representative. here's the other one you want to watch for. you want to watch texas governor rick perry. the longest-serving governor in texas history. very, very popular with conservatives from texas. that's something to think about. >> we're still very early in the game obviously. anybody have an edge? a leg up on the rest of the kpet snigs. >> yeah. a couple of ways to look at this. first of all, always bear in mind someone like mitt romney. why mitt romney? he's got money, recognition, organization. that's a trifecta you've got to respect, okay? but he also has a lot of baggage from 2008. he's the one who came up with his own health care program, in massachusetts, eerily similar to what republicans call boem care and there's a bit of a flip-flop reputation he's got. for some people his religion, the mormon religion, is of concern. and you put those together, he's hardly a shoe-in. tim pawlenty, a fresh face, any time you get a fresh face the first time around, people look at it. he's got a lot of

. >> if might huckabee -- if mike huckabee doesn't run, does that open up for michele bachman? >> i think we have a wide-open field. based on the republicans i talk to, we had about 120,000 republicans turn up on caucus night in 2008. in our republican primary, we had contested races up the bell ballot. the potential exists for a dramatically increased caucus electric on the republican side, especially with democrats of having any activity. the candidates better able to capture -- maybe it is the new or caucus goer or someone who is more recently involved through the tea party movement or republican politics, that will be the story going into the caucasus -- who can motivate the new caucus goers to get involved and grow the size of the electorate. it may be any of the candidates here in iowa asking for our votes. >> i know you did not mention donald trump, i know you invited him to the lincoln day dinner in june. do you believe he has real ideas to bring to the table or is he is going to raise a lot of money? the chairman for of the party, who is neutral in this process, to spe

i think everybody from mitt romney to michelle bachman has now said they know all they need to know about the president's... whether he's a citizen of the united states. they were saying that before the president put out his birth certificate. >> i do think donald trump is using this for a political purpose as well. he's trying to cover the fact that he is neither a republican nor a conservative. i mean, he supported single payer health care reform, to the left of barack obama. he's using these issues genuinely to appeal to the worst parts of the republican coalition in order to pretend he's something that he's not. that is a transparent fraud. he's committing a fraud in this circumstance, cynically using these issues to try to say "i'm tough on obama," when in fact his background is very questionable from the republican's perspective. >> schieffer: let me ask you this. do you think that barack obama did the right thing, michael, in putting out his long-form birth certificate, as it were. >> i must tell you, as a black man in america, and i've been a professor at ivy league schools, got a

caricature candidates like donald trump, or extreme social conservatives such as sarah palin and michelle bachman are giving the party's credibility an unbeatable burden heading into the 2012 presidential primaries. but when credible party leaders such as house speaker john boehner squabble over statutory rape and abortion, serious strategists fear swing and independent voters may desert the gop in large numbers. so, you know what the g.o.p. did, they insert this language in the record because they couldn't get it passed in the bill. the bill will ultimately not be most likely not be signed in to law anyway. but why this issue and, yes, they're fighting over a lot of issues right now, but why waste chits on something that most people don't go to the polls pr or or anti abortion. it's not the main issue. the main issue is jobs, wars and national economy, spending, ought these different things. >> i think because they do believe, i believe lot of people do care about this issue. the fact is, i think we ought to care whether our country is spending too much money or not. we need to focus on this in

gwen: michelle bachman is telling her her heart is telling her to get in. there was also some substance that snuck in this week in the form of a special election that turned a red district blue, apparently because of unhappiness about a republican plan to revamp medicare. that plan's author congressman paul ryan says the opposition is just an excuse to do nothing about a growing problem. >> the irony of this is our plan actually preserves the benefit for current seniors, but trying to scare seniors and turning these things into political weapons, what that ends up doing is inflicting political paralysis. that means nothing gets done. gwen: but it does provide a political framework at least for this political conversation we're having. >> certainly it does. the big question is is that a framework that will last for two weeks or 18 months? democrats believe this will be among the divining issues of the 2012 election, just as medicare in the president's health care reform was part of the debate in the 2010 election. what you had was a special election where yo
