Michelle Cottle is rooting for Palin and Bachmann to run, despite their "eccentricities":
People need to get used to the idea of having women jump willy-nilly into the presidential pool the way the guys have long done. Herman Cain? Morry Taylor? Alan Keyes? Steve Forbes? Mike Gravel? Dennis Kucinich? Heck, in 1992, Ross Perot launched a third party … despite being as nutty as squirrel poo. … Thoughtful, self-aware, well-adjusted people rarely run for president. If we wait around for textbook-perfect female candidates to normalize this process, we will be waiting forever.
