Bachmann va en serio

La Congresista Michele Bachmann aterriza hoy en New Hampshire para una visita de dos días que incluirá una recaudación de fondos privada en la costa y encuentros con activistas locales en Manchester, Nashua y Barrington. Coincidiendo con la visita, fuentes de su círculo de asesores han asegurado a la CNN que Bachmann está cada día más inclinada a presentarse.

Lo cuenta Peter Hamby:

(...) "She is leaning more toward doing it," one Republican close to Bachmann told CNN. "The people she's meeting on the ground, they love her. She is definitely more encouraged when she makes these trips."

(...) "She is seriously considering running and getting a full team lined up and making sure it's the right one," said Ryan Rhodes, the chairman of the Iowa Tea Party. "It will be different than everyone else. She will have a very good team behind her if she does decide to run."

Asked about her organizational efforts, Bachmann's chief-of-staff, Andy Parrish, reiterated that his boss is giving serious thought to running. But he would not comment on specific political outreach.

"If the congresswoman decides to do run, she is going to do it her way, and her way has never been the establishment way," Parrish said.

(...) Bachmann and her team, though, appear to be taking a non-traditional approach to the caucus and primary game by seeking out potential staffers and volunteers from a farm team of newly energized Tea Party activists, rather than relying on an established corps of operatives and consultants to run the effort.

"Some aspects have to be traditional," said the source close to Bachmann. "You've got to have a media guy, you've got to have your political guy and your message guy. Then there is the non-traditional side. If she runs, you will see a grassroots campaign that looks like none you've ever seen before. It will make Barack Obama's effort pale in comparison." (...)
