If Michele Bachmann wants to win the 2012 GOP presidential nomination ...

... she has to pick a fight with Sarah Palin sooner or later, and sooner is better. There's a maximum of one alpha female slot in the competition. If one doesn't knock the other out fairly early, they're both doomed.

Anyway, Bachmann just threw the first punch, albeit via the increasingly usual method of using proxies whom she can "take to the woodshed" if it goes bad on her.

I'm not a fan of either one of them, but if I had to bet on one of the two knocking the other one down hard, fast and for the ten-count, it would be Bachmann. "I didn't resign my last political office to pursue a career in reality television" is a body blow that can be landed again and again.
