I’m saying there is something wrong with Michelle Bachmann. You can see it. She seems like she is on the verge of a breakdown. She should never have gotten in this race in the first place. She as not qualified. She believed the hype and her ego rose to the bait. It isn’t working. And she should quit. NOW. She doesn’t have the temperment to run a race like this. And I never thought she was all THAT right to begin with.
OK, I guess I misread your post. I thought it was excusing her blunder because the devil made her do it. I agree, in general, with your assessment and would say it applies to all House members. I think it is the nature of the job. In the House, you can be more partisan and an ideologue, because you are representing a smaller and specifically grouped population. I think when you run a statewide race, you learn to develop a statesmen type approach. It doesnt mean you dont believe the same things, you just approach it differently, the way Reagan did.
