What we're seeing with Bachman, and will continue to see, will be a portrayal that makes her look as "fringe" and "out there" as possible, in an effort to effectively kill her campaign.
If any candidate provides even the least bit of threat to Obama, you'll see a full scale assault on that candidate by the media. It won't be the usual vetting, either. It will go much further.
Of course, when it comes time to do the same kind of vetting of Obama's first term in office, you won't see much of anything too negative. And what they do portray, will be couched with excuses such as "he inherited a horrible economy" and similar statements. They'll do their best to insulate him from too much criticism -- even though he's arguably the worst president this country has had in the last half century.
