Today, Michele Bachmann officially announced her candidacy for president in 2012, after an interview with FOX News yesterday in which Chris Wallace asked her if she was a "flake."

Last week, Adrienne at Cosmopolitan Conservative shared her view of Bachmann so far -- and her thoughts on how Bachmann is compared to Palin by the media:

Women are just as complex as men. Just because there are fewer of us in elected office doesn’t mean that we’re all clones of one another. Would anyone dare to treat Mitt Romney or Tim Pawlenty as clones of each other? Never!

I am still deciding on which candidate to support. It seems to me that Michelle Bachmann and Herman Cane would make a dynamic team. I like them both, and I like the pointed, common sense way they answer the difficult questions. One thing I am sure of--we must carefully elect someone who understands that you cannot spend your way out of debt!

I think the Democrats that are praying for Bachmann to win the nomination are making a mistake. I've never been a Bachmann fan and was impressed with her performance during the Wallace interview.

Her resume clearly says she is smart and qualified and she is working hard to make sure she presents herself as such.

Assuming she would not be a serious challenger would be a mistake.
