And it isn't just the men in the news media that think Bachmann and Palin is an either/or choice.
Why is Sarah Palin mentioned when Bachmann is being discussed so much? Can they not compare Palin to other governors running or not yet declared? Can they not compare Bachmann to Congressman Ron Paul or former Senator Rick Santorum, for example? Does it have to be either Bachmann or Palin to fill some news media "girl slot" in the list of candidates? Can't they both run?
I thought O'Reilly's Palin vs Bachmann poll was stupid but the analysts do it, too, and not just on Fox News.

I noticed this also. Seems now they are portraying Bachmann as not as pretty as Palin, more like the little sister. Neither woman has control of their looks they are both attractive and smart, both in office and at home,
I think this is the problem.
Women are good at multi-tasking, this is not a trait by men. I don't think we have come to a place where men feel women can run the world, you know what they think, that will bring them.
I never saw the results of the poll, I'm with you I thought it was dumb. Just wondering how Bachmann and Palin feel about running against each other. I say we haven't got any fire from what has been laid out.
If the Republicans want to win they need to light the fire!!
Q: Does the TV News Media Think Bachmann and Palin are Interchangeable Because They're Girls?
A: No, I believe it is more than that. In fact, I see their interchangeability for more reasons than one. You can't? Why would you assume there can't be more than one reason?

They do it in sports also. Any decent white basketball player is automatically compared to Larry Byrd. No matter how little they resemble each other in any other area.
And black guys are always described as "athletic" while white guys are "smart".
And I bet you think Pelosi and Barbara Boxer are Rhodes Scholars?
So just because I don't think highly of bachmann Palin overdrive I must therefore think highly of boxer and Pelosi. The logic in that escapes me.
