Question about Michele Bachmann's status please.
Since she's apparently in "flame-out" and her bid for the presidency appears doomed for failure...what will be her status as a Representative when the dust settles?

2. I'm hoping she'll be OUT as a member of the House......
as a result of her bid for President.
Is this the case?

3. You can run for both. Lieberman did so when he ran for VP with Gore.
My guess though is that she'll get kicked from the GOP primaries so early that she'd be able to run for her House seat. But if she is up for re-election, I'd be surprised if she could win.

I'd also heard rumors that she might decide to run for Senate, but I don't think she can get sufficient support state wide.

4. She has until
June 5, 2012 to withdraw as a presidential candidate and file for reelection as a representative.

I was hoping she couldn't just settle comfortably back into her seat.
This IS good news because I just can't see how this idiot could get re-elected again. (well...I hope NOT anyway)

8. Yeah...good question.
Anyone that put an "X" next to her name, should hang their head in shame.

7. Last I checked she still didn't have a Democratic opponent for 2012
which is a shame.

9. It may depend on when she needs to get on the ballot for her seat
and whether she can run for two seats simultaneously. (In MA, in 2008, Kerry would have had to chose to rerun as Senator or run for President. He could not do both - even though his Senate seat was very safe.)

10. I think Obama should make her Ambassador to Iran. She can live in the embassy there. nt
