Bachmann has too high a profile for Betty to act like there's no one else in the race. Michelle would force her onto the podium and then, good gawd, the feet would come flying out of her mouth. <br /><br />It might not be enough to turn the election since McCollum's lack of deep thought and dependence on pre-digested talking points suits much of her constituency in the old 4th, but it would be fun to watch.Night Writernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-27366660096662916602012-02-22T13:22:50.278-06:002012-02-22T13:22:50.278-06:00It appears that I remain in the 4th Congressional ...<i>It appears that I remain in the 4th Congressional District, but barely. </i><br /><br />You ain't kiddin', D.

One does not have to reside in the Congressional District which they represent. Therefore, Bachmann will continue to live in CD4 while running for Congress in CD6, which, as a resident in the Sixth, thrills me to no end. <br /><br />Now for state politicians, they have until May to establish residency in the district which they will run.<br /><br />By the way, do you know which former Packer once owned the house where the Bachmann family now resides?Brad Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443466836095058736noreply@blogger.com
