Last night Michele Bachmann, who has proved herself to be a consistent conservative throughout her career unleashed a simultaneous barrage on Gingrich and Mitt Romney underscoring how they offer a more fuzzier choice against Barack Obama.
Des Moines Register reports in a long and strong attack, the Minnesota congresswoman accused leading Republican presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney of holding policy views more in line with Obama than a conservative Republican.
Bachmann rolled the front-runners together as “Newt Romney” in a sustained, two-minute tirade that touched on health care, energy policy, illegal immigration and the bank bailout of 2008.
“If you want a difference, Michele Bachmann is the proven conservative,” she said. “It’s not Newt Romney.”

I think Bachmann helped herself last night. And I most admit Rick Perry has vastly improved himself on the debate stage. Last night was his best performance and he’s shown constant improvement with each debate.
