Is Michelle Bachmann beatable?

[ButterflyBlood]

How Republican is her district. Can we get her in 2006? There's no legislator I'd love to get rid of more, I want her gone almost as much as Pawlenty and Coleman.

1. A nasty piece of work is Ms. Bachmann.

Obsessed with gay marriage to the exclusion of almost everything else -- hey, Michelle, dontcha think there are a few more serious problems out there than warrant meddling in the personal lives of some people you don't know but whose presumed sexual activities bother you? Gawd, I can't stand these "moral" politicians who want to snoop in people's bedrooms but who'd cheerfully let a kid go hungry if it would save them $100 in taxes.

2. Rumor says she wants to replace Kennedy in the 6th CD

should be run against Dayton in 2006. So maybe Patty Wetterling will take care of her for us.

I don't know much about her senate district. But if I remember correctly, the house seat she vacated to run for state Senate was filled by a DFLer for the first time in many years.

3. Strib article

I saw the Strib article on her a couple of days ago. She did use to be a ex-Democrat who flip-flopped after Law School and was "born again".

I think the article talked about her parents getting divorced while she was young, which may be internal motivation for her zealotry now. She is trying to prove herself to someone/something/abstract nothing.
