Jim DeMint is a Senator rather than a congresscritter. It is true, I don't think senators make a good breeding ground as an executive either, but it's better than a congresscritter, plus he's had some better business experience before he became a senator. He's also been head of committees and other such little things that Bachmann has not.
Sorry, she's an empty suit, and you've still not produced one thing the woman has accomplished. It's been a couple of weeks since I issued you the challenge, and it's funny, you haven't posted anything yet........
And if Bachmann was the head of a committee in congress people here would be bitching she’s part of the GOP DC establishment and not to be trusted.
