1. Bachmann
There is absolutely no way that she can win. Conservatives will reliably vote for Republicans, but they have to be white, protestant males. Romney can't win, either, because he's a Mormon.

Sorry, but I have two conservative parents. Nothing Obama does will EVER get them to vote for him, but if it is him vs. Romney or Bachmann, they will just stay home and not vote.

2. I suppose it depends...
Is this hypothetically, if I was a Conservative Republican, who would I vote for?
Or who would I vote for if I was a "moderate" Republican?
Or who would I vote for as a Democrat, if my state had open primaries and I was looking for the weakest candidate?

4. That's where it becomes tricky.
Do you want the least bad option or are you looking to wreak havoc?

5. I don't think you get the joke.
I am not encouraging anyone to vote against Obama in any way. Some states have open primaries. Some people just like to vote in polls. I think DU can handle this poll.

6. I responded as to who Obama was most likely to defeat in a landslide
Not who I would personally like to see be President. So I basically voted for the biggest loser - Bachmann
