Michelle Bachmann for Senate 2012?

[azurnoir]

Public Policy Polling released results of a survey on Monday showing that Republicans overwhelmingly support Rep. Michele Bachmann to take on Sen. Amy Klobuchar in 2012. Of eight theoretical Klobuchar opponents, Bachmann got the top spot with 36 percent of Republicans. Bachmann’s support came mainly from conservative GOPers. A poll by PPP last week showed Klobuchar would beat Bachmann by 54 to 39 percent.

Bachmann led the pack of eight theoretical Republican candidates at 36 percent with Gov. Tim Pawlenty getting 20 percent followed by Norm Colemen at 14 percent. Rounding out the pack was Rep.-elect Chip Cravaack at 7 percent, Tom Emmer at 6 percent, Rep. John Kline at 5 percent, state Rep. Laura Brod at 4 percent and Erik Paulsen at 2 percent.

The vast majority of the those sampled identified as conservative — 74 percent — with only 25 percent identifying as moderate and 1 percent as liberal. 42 percent of conservatives picked Bachmann. The next highest pick was Pawlenty with 19 percent. Moderates liked Pawlenty, however, at 26 percent.

1. She'll probably try. She will lose. Statewide, she cannot win.

She can win her district, by a few percentage points, but that is not representative of the state vote. The state likes Amy Klobuchar.

3. after taking a look at the last election and the attitude that seems to be prevailing in the state

I am not so sure about that especially if she follows TPaw's model it all fault of the 'cities' and illegal aliens

2. I think she should run for Pres.

Seeing her make an ass of herself on a national stage daily should provide a consistent form of entertainment. Most would be filed under the "you can't make this shit up" category.

4. Not even the rebubbalickins would go for that. VICE-President, on the other hand...

Now, who amongst the contenders for the top spot would be batshit-crazy enough to do that? Who, who, who? (I think to myself while munching on a mooseburger...)
:think: .....ya think?

6. That would be endless entertainment, but I don't see her running

for Pres either.

7. Oh god. Please

A Palin-Bachmann ticket.

5. Would she have to give up

her house seat to run? Now THAT would be worth it.
