But shows Mitt Romney holding a steady lead with 36 percentage points the big story is congresswoman Bachmann.
The jump from 3% in May 211% today.
Was that a democratic pollster and Fox News analyst and my good friend.
Packet what are these polls tell you to the mean anything this far in advance of the primary.
So they don't tell us how they're gonna come out but they tell right away who has heat.
I mean Romney is well known Avery and before he's -- -- themselves -- from -- right -- But Bachmann is been on fire ever since the debate she announced she goes through New Hampshire she -- has -- she's doing.
She's getting she's at she's even with Romney in Iowa -- she represents an outside viewpoint I think.
And also should dynamic so she's -- she's a hot commodity.
You think that she represents the the Tea Party small government sound money.
A government leave me alone attitude.
Body's gonna represented tea parties these primaries in right now she is basically for a while people are -- came might be -- we're also ways he Rick Perry's up Q.
She had -- Tea Party.
Caucus in the house right -- it right now we have a poll from the -- register which shows a rotted walls basically -- historic day at a time right which shows were on full story there and LBS says he won't preserve it but does he represent a small -- limited limited which you have to -- anti Washington political class was the outside -- you've got about 30% of the boat and -- already.
Pray for between Balkman.
Herman Herman Cain and Paul rate of -- -- sort of the -- right now.
-- -- it's astounding -- very disciplined or does that mean that the sold Barry Goldwater vs Lyndon Johnson Ronald Reagan vs George HW.
Bush.
Tea Party verses.
John Boehner establishment divide.
In the Republican Party is still there and it's gonna be played out of these.
-- well I think it's I think this is -- new divide this is -- it you're right it's this it's a step child if you are alleged Koreans child of the of that earlier division particularly the -- water.
Division I think you're gonna see -- I think the tea party for a percent that.
And I think they've got a real problem with the establishment in Washington is they showed the Republican establishment in Washington might as well be the junior partners of the demo.
Pretzels on your your singing the tune for most people who watch this show and appreciate.
What we say here and ask a question about congresswoman Bachmann.
Do you think that the press imposes a different standard on women.
-- it does on me and I mean did that the media ask anybody else their understanding of the American revolution of the forces that brought together and you think the sunrise assuming he.
The -- has -- last time I checked this does let me tell you some of this is.
Not only they treat women by the way it's not just Bachmann and -- -- -- -- There's a certain -- -- when you -- the establishment -- -- -- the liberal establishment or perhaps they are -- -- let's -- some small step let me just say this Stephanopoulos Chris Matthews Hussein all she's for constitutional principle she must be for slavery.
Let me just say this.
You have people who were political hacks he would Stephanopoulos parading or let's put that will -- -- will -- -- -- -- -- -- political -- parading -- -- they're -- -- some -- -- -- They sit there and they would push agendas -- my party my armor are there's hardly liberals who dislike women and -- -- -- -- standards are being Chris Matthews -- had a lot of problems dealing with women including Hillary Clinton and others.
I mean he has some he has at least shown and I don't Chris doesn't mean mean haven't but you could make a case and misogynist -- cable.
Look at Bill -- what he did did.
Palin's daughter to -- can look.
Well that that's what he what's your soul but I think -- kind of -- that's passes acceptable.
To get happens to ask women to say all their dangerous effect.
Could you should see I doubt you've seen today Rolling Stone has a major story -- Michelle Bachmann I know Michelle Bachmann.
-- I don't real all on every issue by far to say.
But she is a very smart intelligent woman in this piece makes her out to be.
It's unbelievable.
How bad it is and all working together by the way let me let me this is it -- conservative Republican women -- conservatives Anderson the -- does Michelle Bachmann.
Take up the space that Sarah Palin might have occupied.
Because Sarah Palin is not an active candidate that right now she's of course futures -- part of the vacuum people who would be for -- might be would be whatever.
But but let me just say this for all these candidates and here's a less -- -- -- to -- -- time to start pushing back on these press people.
They don't have the right to do this for them to question for George Stephanopoulos knows about as much about American -- like at north symbol with your question about.
What did you Quincy GAAP John Quincy adams' Syria itself -- father AdSense like we're gonna have a rollicking primary you're gonna be very interested to be read that your like I do that because I'd like to keep them honest or at least -- you the truth about -- -- -- what -- Renault exactly had to -- -- talked -- -- thank you for joining us.
