Now that would be entertaining, we all know what happens when one of the wannabes goes on the public airwaves and starts talking, Bachmann is only slightly smarter than Palin, at least for now, we have not hear her speak as often but we have heard has not impressed. But first she has to make it to the final round, before that happens she has to eliminate those within her own Party and get the nomination. She does not seem to understand that she has to beat out the field before taking on the title holder, another clueless comment on her part.

Let us hope she can earn the required qualifications to engage in a public debate, by getting on the republican ticket.
But then, like every other (similar) politician, I fully expect her to get away with talking points and non-answers. Sometimes the moderators leave a lot to be desired.

I agree, I never understood why the moderators do not just say that the person is not answering the question. A prime example was Palin, I lost track of how many times she out and out refused to answer a question, sounded more like she was making a speech instead of answering questions directly asked of her. Don't let them off the hook, either they answer every question or a big hook comes out and removes them from the stage
Anyway Bachmann will never win the GOP nomination so this is all for fun only, even I do not think the GOP is so brain dead as to nominate her unless they have just given up on winning the race for the Whitehouse, but who kows they can surprise us they did nominate Palin for VP.

That's exactly who I was thinking of, although, it is a pretty common practice.
Since you must ask that question, no, debates don't involve teleprompters. Teleprompters have been used interchangeably by politicians, media personalities etc off and on with speeches written on paper.
Teleprompter...

Although, debates have seen candidates wired like a suicide bomber...

How does anyone have an intelligent debate with someone who just makes stuff up like Backmann does? Remember her recent speech in Iowa where she claimed the Founding Fathers ended slavery? She rewrites history and facts to suit her agenda whenever she wants.
She would be more fun to watch on Saturday Night Live.
They could dress her up as a patriot and have her teach history.

She makes Palin look well-informed
