Bachmann and Perry: worthy of scrutiny?

WORTHY SCRUTINY: Ed Kilgore opines on Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry. "Major presidential candidates like Perry and Bachmann really are something new under the sun. They embody a newly ascendant strain of conservatism that is indeed radical or extremist in its claims to represent not just good economics or good governance, but eternal verities that popular majorities can help implement but can never overturn. They deserve all the scrutiny they have attracted, and more." Well put.
