PPP's latest:
Michele Bachmann's momentum continues to build and she's taken first place by the smallest of margins on PPP's newest national Presidential poll. 21% of Republican primary voters say she's their top choice to 20% for Mitt Romney, 12% for Rick Perry, 11% for Herman Cain, 9% for Ron Paul, 7% for Newt Gingrich, 5% for Tim Pawlenty, and 3% for Jon Huntsman.
In other Bachmann news, her migraines have become a subject of debate, Alex Pareene takes on her end times beliefs, and David Graham profiles some of Bachmann's most dogged critics. The fact that a congresswoman with no legislative record, with a husband whose business is involved with "curing" gays, and who believes that US government default is no big deal is suddenly the front-runner for the GOP nomination tells you everything you could conceivably want to know about the sheer degeneracy and derangement of the current GOP – and the profound weakness of the Romney candidacy.
The party deserves her candidacy – because she so perfectly represents its core nature.
