Michele Bachmann: Running at the State Fair

CNN tried to catch up with Rep. Michele Bachmann at the State Fair. But reporter Gary Tuchman figured out that these days, the congresswoman rarely talks to anyone other than known allies.

The cable news network's cameras were allowed to watch as she practically ran through through the fairgrounds, hustled by handlers to appointments with radio stations in right field.

And KTLK yakker Jason Lewis was given face time to praise her for creating her own media bubble, in which she never has to face questions that challenge her votes, speeches and campaign tactics.

"I think she has her own way of doing things, which is very much out of the Karl Rove playbook," Bachmann's Democratic challenger, Tarryl Clark, told Tuchman as they strolled through the fairgrounds. "I've never seen her do anything else."

Tuchman was eventually granted a blink-and-you-miss-it audience with Bachmann, in which she stuck to her "Taxin' Tarryl" talking points.

"We're polar opposites," she said of Clark, and then sped away.

"You are an insane lady," a guy hollered at Bachmann as her posse bolted through the fairgrounds. "She is crazy. Could anybody believe the crap that comes out of her mouth?"

Since the two-term incumbent is leading in the latest polls, the answer would be, "Yes."

2. Have done - twice. :) She's on my "make sure I donate to" list. nt

7. Thank you so much. This post is going to carry me through one

more day of door knocking.

5. I feel for you folks in the 6th

That district was so gerrymandered that its almost impossible to get a democrat in there. I've donated to Tarryl Clark, and I really hope she wins, I don't know what it is, but that highway 10 corridor is ridiculously conservative (as is St Cloud too, which is strange to me, I never really thought so growing up until I moved to Minneapolis and saw how openly left leaning almost everyone is)

8. The gerrymandering does make it difficult, but Bachmann has never had

50% of the vote. And Tarryl is the hardest working candidate in the nation. I need to do a count of the parades she's appeared in, not to mention the ones that her husband was in because she was in another at the same time. She's on the phone every night, as is her husband. And she rallies hundreds if not thousands of volunteers to the same. She's worth investing time and money in. Come on up to St. Cloud and I will doorknock with you!

3. How Bachmann got elected, and keeps getting re-elected, I'd like to know.

I agree 100% with this:

"You are an insane lady," a guy hollered at Bachmann as her posse bolted through the fairgrounds. "She is crazy. Could anybody believe the crap that comes out of her mouth?"

4. I love that guy! I want to know something similar, and that is how could people

vote for Brewer after her being exposed for the lying twit she is. She's batshit crazy too.

6. Running through the State Fairgrounds dodging the crowd...

Hiding in the bushes from teh gays & lesbians...

Appearing only on FOX news to bunt slow-pitch softballs...

What the hell kind of "leader" does Bachmann think she is? Certainly not one for the real world.
