Now that she is leaving the House, she should set her sights on challenging Al for his Senate seat. She wouldn't win, of course, but it would be hilarious to watch. The debates would be quite a hoot as well, topping anything Al did on SNL. She would go down in flames. RUN, MICHELE, RUN!!

I can see her taking her act to Faux "News", where she will likely end up as a contributor, possibly with her own show.

I think Minnesota doesn't have too many viable Republican challengers for Franken in 2014. I think with an effective campaign and congressional record, Franken can easily win re-election in 2014. If polls showed that Minnesotans prefer Franken over Bachmann, who knows how the other obscure ones like McFadden would poll.
