Comments on: Will Michele Bachmann Run for Re-Election to Congress? https://gregladen.com/blog/2012/01/05/will-michele-bachmann-run-for-re-election-to-congress/ Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:23:53 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.8 By: tuibguy https://gregladen.com/blog/2012/01/05/will-michele-bachmann-run-for-re-election-to-congress/#comment-19203 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:23:53 +0000 http://freethoughtblogs.com/xblog/?p=1831#comment-19203 I wonder if she could even point to a bill she authored that was passed through congress and signed by the president even before she started running for president.

Her main achievement as Congressional representative has been to grandstand and get on TV.

McCollum would defeat Bachmann in a landslide. So would Klobuchar and Franken.

Ans: “I only missed 71 percent of the key votes”

Hmm, well if I was one of her constituents, I would first ask, what have you done for me lately. You have been campaigning for President when you were supposed to be representing me in Congress. Frankly, if you cannot be bothered showing up for work, why should I re-employ you.

If I was Ms. Bachmann, I would make sure I had an answer to this question, because that is the legacy she is really running against.

shouldbeworking, people have discussed that a bit as well. She would be shredded alive in a Senate race though, running against either sitting senator. Or at least they would knock the wind out of her for sure.

Jeff, her district looks like a giant newt mating with the twin cities already!

“she goes against McCollum and winds”

Thank you.

I would wonder if she is going to make the next step to Senator.

She might be seen as annointed when the next senate race starts.
