A sitting member of Congress who has sponsored 7, 22 and 17 pieces of legislation over the past 6 years, none of which has become law, doesn't sit on a large number of significant and hasnt' risen to any leadership position in the Congress.

There are a lot of things to like about Representative Bachmann, but a serious presidential candidate. Please.

I think it’s Dr. Kraut that needs some schooling; like a history book, to start with.

It’s no accident that members of Congress don’t get elected President. They come from specially drawn districts. Occasionally, they are outliers of their state, as is the case with Michele Bachmann. Even if by some miracle she were to win the nomination, she will be unable to deliver her home state to the red column. It would have been like us nominating the late Rep. Hyde of Illinois. Another very good human being who would lose his own state.

History is your friend, Dr. Kraut.

Bachmann looks like a Heavy Hitter compared to the 0 currently infesting the WH.
