Sarah Palin was a favored target of many Democrats, but with her recent departure from the spotlight, a woman who once called President Obama “anti-American” has now emerged as a possible objective of the left’s ire.
According to Newser, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, a far-right Minnesota Rep., is similar to Palin in her social conservatism, has a large family, and her accent reveals upper Midwestern roots.
Michelle Martson, Bachmann’s chief of staff told the Free Republic that on the Democratic campaign’s hit-list, “She’s definitely somewhere up there.”
A local chair in Bachmann’s district, Jeremy Powers, said “Michele Bachmann is just nuts. She is just an utter embarrassment.”
Liberal blogs such as the Daily Kos write of Bachmann, “After having just returned from a trip to Minnesota, I shake my head that such a beautiful place would be represented by such an ugly individual as Bachmann.”
Democrats have enlisted popular state senator Tarryl Clark to try to unseat Bachmann in 2010, but their efforts may be futile. Newser reports that a GOP strategist commented that the district is very conservative and has voted red in the last three presidential races and said, “They’d like to think they can beat her. I don’t think they can do it.”

Michele "Internment Camps" Bachman and Sarah "Death Panel" Palin - a marriage truly made in hell.
Really funny how the self-loathing left "hate" these two socially conservative women. Reason is easy enough -- they're everything liberals could never be. Successful career women who are married, have nice families, etc.
While the single self-loathing hater liberals are well...single. With good reason. No one wants to be with them.
I am so glad the Republicans are stuck with these 2 nutcases.
FightTheSmears, Go look up the states with the highest divorce rate, then look up the ones with the lowest. Then tell me which states (red or blue) have the higher rates and which ones have the lower rates. You fail at life. I don't think all conservatives are stupid, but man the dumb ones from your side are really, and I mean REALLY, stupid. Either that or completely brainwashed.
Palin - Bachman in 2012!
they can have the hindenburg crashing into the titanic as mascotts.
people who aren't married can not get divorced.
