Blame the Tea Party. It's been three years now, blaming Bush doesn't cut it anymore.

Bachmann is doing well because the Right is responding to a more polarized message and she's a polarizing candidate. She's also building on the Palin effect and using here local support in Iowa.
She'll be good to capture TV time this summer/fall, but she's just too extreme for independent or moderate Republican voters and too intolerant to moderate her position on just about anything.
She's getting pounded on Meet the Press right now over her views on homosexuality
