That was the case. Bachmann did not want to face the more progressive district of Betty McCollum’s that is now where she lives. So she is not running in the 4th district for re-election, but she is running in the new 6th district’s location. She did not need to move into the new distrcit to run, but she is still thinking about moving into the currrent 6th district. It sounds like the 6th where it is more in her favor and thus conservative. So it sounds like the DNC might have become resigned into not putting money into the race as they have bigger fish to fry. They probably gave up caring after Bachmann soundly defeated Clark two years ago. I doubt she will run unopposed in the general though, but it will be a stiff running against her as DNC is conceding the district to her.
