Michele Bachmann's campaign is fortifying its earlier hit on Tim Pawlenty with a new one - after his campaign fired back - that equates the former Minnesota governor to the current Democratic president.
From spokeswoman Alice Stewart:
"Governor Pawlenty would have us believe that there is 'very little difference' between his positions and those of Michele Bachmann.
"But in fact, there is very little difference between Governor Pawlenty's past positions and Barack Obama's positions on several critical issues facing Americans. On issues such as unconstitutional healthcare mandates, climate change regulations, and Wall Street bailouts, there's very little daylight, indeed, between Governor Pawlenty's record and the Obama administration's policies.
"And of course, President Obama would surely applaud Governor Pawlenty's 2006 statement that the 'era of small government is over,' and that the government will have to be 'more proactive and more aggressive.'
"Governor Pawlenty has changed his positions in recent years, but he can't run from his big government record as governor of Minnesota that left the state's budget in a multi-billion dollar mess. That's not executive experience we need.
"As Michele Bachmann said earlier today, she 'has a lifetime record of success and action in the real world. Real-world actions speak louder than his words as a career politician.' And so the more Republican voters examine Michele Bachmann's record and Governor Pawlenty's record, the more they will see that there is a world of difference between the two."
Bachmann, who had two weeks ago said she didn't want to engage in "negativity" after Tim Pawlenty started attacking her by name, is now entering a new phase, it seems - one where she answers the charges as they come.
Continue ReadingThe pivot is taking place after Bachmann's toughest week of her relatively new campaign - days of stories about migraines she suffers and questions about whether it could impact her performance, which were answered over a period of days that prolongued the story. At the same, her Iowa organization has been trying to catch up in ground game to her fast rise in the polls.
One of the hard rules of politics is that campaigns don't engage unless they have to. And the new move also comes at a time when, many observers say, Pawlenty has been showing real signs of life on the stump in advance of the Ames Straw Poll in Iowa.
Pawlenty's earlier volley described Bachmann's record as empty. His campaign manager, Nick Ayers, posted on Twitter that her hits were based on "inaccurate" research and that they would be responding tomorrow in depth.
