Will Michele Bachmann win reelection to the House?

It surprises me that she easily get re-elected to this CD. It's conservative for Minnesota, but not much more than the nation. Perhaps she gets through the primary and enough straight-ticket Repubs vote for her in the general, but may prefer someone more moderate. It would be interesting to see her popularity in MN-6.

THat's the thing, she isn't extremely popular. She was 'only' re-elected with 52.5% of the vote in 2010.

Yeah, I expected her to run less far ahead of the party ticket, compared to most incumbents. My point was that she is far to the right of the median voter in MN-6.
