Is very conservative. It's about +9 Republican. Even Bachmann can get elected there. Redistricting, however, may shift the balance a little. I seriously doubt that Bachmann will run again for that seat. There are limits.

My district, CD-4, elected Betty McCollum to the House. She's a staunch progressive.

Which state are you in? Does it have any Republican Congress members?

1. Batshit was only elected to Congress in 2006. Prior to that the scope of her embarrasment to humanity was confined to the MN Senate.

2. Her district is wildly gerrymandered to maintain a thin but fairly consistent majority of exurban snowbillies.

http://www.minnpost.com/stories/2008/11/05/4380/what_about_bob_michele_bachmann_owes_re-election_to_third-party_unknown

Before she heads back to Washington, D.C., to begin her second term, U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann surely will send Bob Anderson a huge thank-you note.
Despite her efforts to beat herself, Bachmann was able to defeat DFL challenger El Tinklenberg in Minnesota's 6th Congressional District.
The difference-maker? Bob Anderson.


In 2010 she had a massive war chest of funding.

http://minnesotaindependent.com/73632/michele-bachmann-defeats-tarryl-clark-in-nations-most-expensive-house-race

The House race between Bachmann and Clark was the most expensive in the country, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Clark’s $4.2 million raised throughout the election was more than twice the amount of any other Minnesota DFL congressional candidate this year. But her haul paled in comparison to Bachmann’s monstrous $11.1 million raised for this cycle. The combined $15 million raised between the two candidates was over $6 million more than the second most expensive campaign, in Florida’s 22nd Congressional District.

**She's not as beloved in Minnesota as people think. In fact, most see her as the radical that she is.

who are attracted to her looks, and dimwitted conservative women, who think that she's "family-oriented."

When others criticize her, the response of her fan base is, "I thought Democrats wanted women to run for office."

the 8 years GW Bush spent in the WH. Twice the American electorate made it close enough to steal. Bachmann is an idiot, true, but the ignorant people who vote for these morons are even worse.

This district was solid Blue Progressive at one time. Major target of Gerrymandering in 1990 by the Repukes,with eye to permanent control of the state legislature for 20 years. Folks,Minny and Wisconsin where the most progressive of all the states pre 1990. RNC raised mega bucks from the Koch's,Whitney's,Hubbard's and the Country Club crowds on Tonka.

The big mega churches did all the door knocking for her,lots of Joe six-packs in this district. Low information types,guns,God and Gays,that is her wedge issues.

Tangled with this Twit in Region 6 Caucuses in the 80's,what a low-life back stabber. Have to remember,this was the big push for the anti-abortion crowd,and the creation of the mega churches. The rest is history.

Remember this,Bachman Farms still are receiving their 200k per year subsides,and here idiot fans and blood suckers have made her a multi millionaire,just like Pallin.

Kiddies,it's all about legacy and not having to worry about gas or groceries.
