22. Not Minnesota. One heavily-gerrymandered district.

Bachmann was never elected to any statewide office in Minnesota, and never could be. She was elected to represent a strangely-shaped, heavily-gerrymandered, safe-Republican district that sprawled across the map from the exurbs and rural areas of central Minnesota, through the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities, and - gack - all the way to my house.

And what was wrong with the people of those exurbs, suburbs, and rural areas? The same thing that's wrong with the nation: decades of Fox News and hate radio.
