Michelle Bachmann is ready for the Revolution

[Ban my account ffs!]

Who elected this headjob?  It's only an R+5 district IIRC.  Was the Dem nominee Tinkelberg(sp?) really that bad?

Trust me... I lived in the district for her first run and reelection run... both against Patty Wetterling.  Despite Wetterling's known name in the district, the uber conservative exurbs strongly rejected her for Bachmann, who came from the exurbs.

Believe it or not, the rural areas were friendlier to the DFLers than the suburban areas.  (Not uncommon in Minnesota)

Bachmann actually isn't from the exurbs, she's from Dem-leaning Stillwater. Her home is interestingly the part of the district she performs worst in except for the liberal parts of St. Cloud.

I consider the district divided into two parts:

The suburbs

And areas associated with St. Cloud.

Stillwater is definitely a suburb of St. Paul.  Also remember that she ran for state senate and won in that district.

Priceless.

Well in her favor, looking into her eyes, she looks stoned to me.

It's a combination of Jesus and valium.
