Bachmann: Newt a 'Memory-Challenged Prof'

Michele Bachmann thinks people "are going to be really sorry" to see the end of Herman Cain, but wasted no time today in courting his Tea Party backers, saying they would "come home," and ripping into current GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich. "Professors don't like to be challenged," she said in dissing Gingrich over his past immigration stance, "but I think in this case he's memory challenged." "Newt Gingrich signed a letter in the Wall Street Journal, wherein he was in full support of George Bush's immigration program, which was commonly referred to as amnesty," she said. She also zinged him as "establishment as you get." More from around your Sunday dial, as per Politico:

• Tom Coburn on Gingrich: "I'm not inclined to be a supporter of Newt Gingrich's having served under him for four years and experienced personally his leadership. I found it lacking often times."
• Ron Paul on Donald Trump: “I don’t quite understand the marching to his office. I didn’t realize he had the ability to lay on hands and anoint people.”
• Kent Conrad on Harry Reid's forthcoming plan to extend the payroll tax break: "He indicated to me it will be paid for. It'll be paid for in a serious way. It will represent a compromise from what was voted on last week. It is a serious attempt to move this ball forward."
• Rick Santorum on his lack of a 'boomlet': "It's a great thing. Boomlets last about four to six weeks. Newt's at about week three. I think we have a very good chance of winning Iowa."
• John McCain on the pace of GOP debates: It's “getting a little too heavy."
