She'll campaign in Texas for Gov. Rick Perry, who faces a primary challenge from Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison; she'll appear in Arizona for Senator John McCain, who faces a challenge from the right; and she'll appear in Minnesota for Rep.

This is the REAL news---she's directly backing Bachmann.

That said...with Brown's epic win...maybe Bachmann's race won't be as bad as previously thought?
