LOL! 
Poor Michele is probably trying to flee the state because she’s afraid she has to get gay-married now.
Once is enough, I suppose.
Her 2012 opponent, Jim Graves, announced he will not run for the seat, claiming his goal of getting Bachmann out of Congress has been achieved. A link at Democratic candidate drops out
She’s tired of her opposition assaulting her with facts. So, she’s going Sarah Palin, who had the same problem.
Do you really think that helps the conservative cause?
Oh, please. That’s not how things work at all.
About 173,000 of them voted for her opponent. In fact, she only won by about 3,000 votes. So let’s not paint them all with the same brush.
It doesn’t hurt or help probably. I don’t think people cast their votes based on talk show hosts or pundits saying weird things.
Oh, I definitely think that some people are turned off by talk radio and associate certain strains of ideology of certain candidates with it. It’s the whole Republican “brand” thing. It’s all lumped together. But most people probably would vote against those extreme Republicans anyway, without talk radio.
And it’s not the “weird” things they say, it’s the outrageous, slanderous, racist, sexist things. Which they do often.
Why do I have a nagging feeling that now that Graves is out, Michelle might have an epiphany/revelation and “re-evaluate” her decision?
She is gay married. Oh, you mean…Sorry.
Why would she make this announcement so early?
Because her presidential campaign is being investigated for ethics violations.
Deleted.
Well, no, she wasn’t “deleted” in any discernible way, she just bailed out.
So Fox News can get a head start on arranging its Fall lineup.
Because she’s trying to place her own stories in the news cycle and they keep getting over shadowed by pieces about her candidacy - past and present. Also, potential candidates have a hard time garnering cooperation from people on the other side of the aisle who don’t want to arm potential electoral adversaries.
You think Michele Bachmann wants to garner cooperation? From Democrats?
Well, sure. She’d love for Democrats to cooperate with her. She just won’t cooperate with them.
