The Minnesota congresswoman, who dropped her White House bid after placing sixth in the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses, told Bloomberg TV’s Al Hunt in an interview that aired over the weekend that GOP primary voters had their chance, but they missed it.

From the interview transcript:

HUNT: You are remaining above the fray. But you sat in, in almost a dozen debates with these people. You have a feel for them. Let me ask you this. Who is the more conservative of these four candidates left?

BACHMANN: I was. I was the perfect candidate.

7. Perhaps so, but she chose the wrong office

She could well be perfect for something. I don't pretend to know what, but President was not it.

We don't hold election for Chief Theocrat in this nation, in fact, we never have.

15. Pardon me, but...

If the next Bachmann Press Conference starts out with her saying, "I coulda been a contenda..." I believe I will become ill. Hurry, Hurry, Hurry...This 3-Ringer Ain't Done Yet! Thoughts at 3 A.M.

18. I try to explain this to DUers all the time

People rail about the ideological horrors of candidates and elected officials. The only person that is 100% correct on the issues is yourself. You agree with all of your positions and everyone else is wrong.

Of course she thinks she is ideologically perfect.
