Former White House candidate Bachmann to seek Congress
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-rt-us-campaign-bachmanntre80o1wh-20120125,0,1211881.storyMINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann, who three weeks ago ended her campaign for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, said she will seek reelection to a fourth term in Congress, a spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
Bachmann, 55, was first elected to the 6th Congressional District in Minnesota in 2006. Once a Tea Party favorite, the Iowa-born Bachmann withdrew from the presidential race a day after receiving just 5 percent of the vote in the Iowa nominating caucuses.
Bachmann Press Secretary Becky Rogness confirmed that Bachmann had said she would seek a fourth term in Congress during an interview with the Associated Press.

Sadly, the only hothouse that flower can survive in, is her own gerrymandered/rigged/loony guano district.

Then we can say "good riddance" to her once and for all.

(17,656 posts)After seeing that infamous "corn dog" picture in Iowa, no one will be able to cast a vote for Bachmann again without having that image in their mind.
Not even the shark in the "Jaws" movie was able to open his mouth that wide.
