The Washington Post reports that political observers in Minnesota are skeptical that Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., will seek reelection this year.
Bachmann, who formally announces that she will end her campaign for president on Wednesday in Des Moines, has a lot to distract her from a return to the rank-and-file of Congress.

She can maybe do more without the giant task of working to get elected every two years. A candidate, today, like Bachman is an anomaly. In the rare event that we get a true conservative elected, they go through the meat grinder. Every year we are swimming against the tide as our entertainment and academia work to brainwash and crank out more Marxist indoctrinated drones. The ANSWER lies in eradicating the left from these institutions. Sadly, demograpically and culturally speaking, if we do not, there will be fewer and fewer Michelle Bachmans.
>>>Meanwhile, Bachmann, 55, is a strong candidate for television punditry, and some think she may have her sights on running against Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., in 2014”
Maybe she’ll set-up housekeeping in her hometown, and take on DungHeap Harkin...
Wow, the left has destroyed two powerful conservative women in less than a year.
Yet Pelosi slithers on... ugh.
I haven’t forgotten what Tim Walberg said in 2010 when he was running for office.
Our responsibility doesn’t end at the ballot box and our support must be consistent or we will fail. The left never sleeps, they just wait for us to sleep.
Yes, the Secret Service provides security for ex-presidents and their spouses.
we have both houses in mn... shouldn’t the repubs control redestricting?
More lies from the MSM.
She is doing the complete OPPOSITE of retiring from Congress.
Not quite veto-proof....They passed a map some time ago, Gov rejected it.
Michele Bachmann should stay in Congress. I believe she’ll have the momentum to become Speaker if the TEA Party Republican who is challenging John Boehner wins his seat.
I’m not a Minnesotan but I’ve donated to Michele Bachmann’s campaign because she understands that her votes in Congress affect ALL of us and not just the voters in her district.
Let’s let her know how much she means to us in Congress. Contact her ... donate.
Congress has basically kicked Bachmann to the curb (IMO). They don’t want her, they won’t give her any choice positions, and leadership sees her as a pain in the butt.
Remember when she warned us about the 105 Billion in stealth funding of Obamacare? The leadership essentially pushed her aside and ignored it.
I heard that Margaret Thatcher had to retrain her voice as well.
I think that is mentioned in the new movie about Thatcher — The Iron Lady.
I heard a clip of Eleanor Roosevelt the other day — her voice was just dreadful. She would never be allowed to take the podium today.
...continuing the thought...
We ladies do have a problem when public speaking — especially to large groups. Our voices tend to get high and shrill, sometimes whiney. Men just hate it and refuse to listen which curtails our effectiveness. But, clever lasses that we are, we will learn to cope, take lessons and be successful — just like Ginger Rogers dancing backwards in high heels.
The key is recognizing the problem and doing something about it.
That dufus, Franken would not be there if it weren’t for the morons who think they’re too good to vote Republican so they voted “third party”. Because of their stubbornness, we have Obamacare.
