The surge by Michele Bachmann was discussed tonight on Hardball by Michael Steele and Jennifer Donahue. You can watch it here. All three said Bachmann was the big winner. Donahue:
She was a Reagan Republican last night. She talked about the three legged stool. Nobody else took that opportunity. Four years ago in the debates all we heard was Republicans wanting to be Ronald Reagan. She walked in, and she owned it. She had magnetism. She is a conservative who is a movement conservative.
