Michele Bachmann's sterling social conservative credentials are a big reason for her national following and her expected appeal in Iowa. And she's already starting to wield them as a club against one of her opponents, the Huffington Post reports:

Speaking via Skype to the National Right to Life’s Convention in Jacksonville, Fla., the Minnesota Republican did not mention former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by name. But the target of her dig was clear.

The 2012 race, she said, was "not the time for Republicans to put up a candidate who is weak on this issue and has a history of flip-flopping on this issue.”

Romney is hoping that his mixed history on abortion will be less of an issue in an economy-driven 2012 campaign. But Bachmann has the opportunity at least to make life uncomfortable for the frontrunner on this issue, which is still a dealbreaker for many on the right and has the potential to reinforce doubts about Romney's ideological core.

Why not? Romney's banking his whole campaign on the economy and his supposedly superior skills in this area. But when you listen to all of the Republican candidates they all have the same remedy for the economy. Lower taxes and deregulate. He has no ideas that are different than any other candidate.

So how does he really set himself apart from Bachmann, or Pawlenty, or any of the others? Only in that Republicans can't trust him on the social issues. If they nominate him, they are truly suckers. They coulda had a V8. Why drink Romney's koolaid?

...but Bachmann must know what is the Question = It's Jobs Lady, Jobs....

IF Romney had not "Wrecked the companies (sell them off, down to zero, unfriendly forced 'takeovers,' outsourcing to China,etc) THEN maybe I would think of him as "A Business-Policy Mind" with a "stelar record" ... but ... I would always wonder what happened to all those people he hurt while gaining personal wealth ....

You can Love the sinner & Hate The Sin... You can "Be For Free-will /Right To Choose" & Hate Abortions but Never Can You Abide "The Greed Of Gain On The Pain Of Others"

Bachmann needs to "Hit" Romney's Business Record ....
