WASHINGTON — Even from thousands of miles away, through a computer screen, over Skype, and into a packed room in Fresno, Calif., Representative Michele Bachmann knows how to ignite a crowd. Leading up to the health care vote this year, Ms. Bachmann, Republican of Minnesota, would head to a conference room in the National Republican Campaign Committee’s headquarters and hold Skype rallies, using the Internet video service to address audiences around the country. Staff members walking by could hear the cheering crowds, roaring so loud they reverberated through the glass wall and out into the committee’s hallway.
Such is the power of Ms. Bachmann — and possibly, the curse.

Don’t even have to read this until I see an article about how some Dem commie puts the DNC in some uncomfortable position.
Yes. If a conservative is brilliant, beautiful, charismatic and EXTREMELY POPULAR too, well, it’s a “curse.” Yeah. OK. Somebody is cursed all right, but it ain’t us.
“Michele Bachmann does not have a strong record as a legislative strategist, and that’s never been her forte,” said Lawrence Jacobs, a University of Minnesota political science professor. “She says things that are kind of off the wall, but these are often calculated statements on her part, to register with conservative, grass-roots people, and that’s very hard for folks who are not grass-roots conservatives to understand,” he said. “Some of the things she says are zany and embarrassing to other Republicans,”
Another conservative the Ruling Class dislikes !!!
Wonderful lady, both inside and out.
There they go again. The libs at the NYT worrying about the GOP. LOL! What would we do without them looking out for us and giving us “advice” all the time?
Clueless NYT writer.
It wasn’t a faux pas when Michele said Obama held anti-American views. That’s factual.
Amen...may God richly bless this wonderful Representative!
she has been in the minority the whole time.
she has been in the minority the whole time.
“He (Lawrence Jacobs) chaired the Task Force on Inequality and American Democracy, which was convened by the American Political Science Association.” From his U of Minn webpage.
Just a regular guy.
Her organizing and leading a Tea Party Caucus will give her more power and a better platform than if she were to become part of the congressional leadership. She’s more suited as an outside force.
A 50+ voting block will be difficult to ignore, and she can rally forces behind a cause like no other current Congressional Republican can.
She’s a force of nature.

Kudos, Frank. Right on.
Please send a copy to every Repub. put in office.
We’ll take a collection here to add our names to it.
I give Hugh Hewitt a lot of credit for providing Michele Bachmann with a national forum among Conservatives on his radio show. That’s how I became a Bachmann supporter several election cycles ago — even though I live almost a thousand miles from her district. Thanks, Hugh!
Palin / Bachman 2012!
Me. too.
