A Star Is Born?............by Dan Friedman

On Monday, June 13, CNN will host the first New Hampshire Republican Presidential Debate, live from Manchester, NH at 8 p.m. ET.

Answering questions will be former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Georgia businessman Herman Cain.

Definitely watch this one. A strong performance from Bachmann could propel her into the heart of the race for the nomination. For a sign that that’s happened, in the days right after the debate look for a sudden surge of neo-BDS (Bachmann Derangement Syndrome) in the left-liberal blogosphere and their fellow travelers in the lamestream media. Keep your eye on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and Andrew Sullivan of the Daily Beast. Each is a hysterical lefty who has certain issues with women, and they scare easily.
