Exclusive: Michele Bachmann to Run for GOP Leadership

Big Government ^

[FloridaSunrise]

If the GOP is to capitalize on its success, it needs to incorporate the energy and commitment to principle displayed by the grass roots activists. It needs to realize that the game has really changed and the politics of the past two decades are over. Big Government has now learned that Rep. Michele Bachmann, one of the first GOP office-holders to recognize the importance of the tea party uprising, will enter the race for GOP Conference Chair. The number 4 position in House Leadership, the Conference Chair is well-positioned to inject grass-roots energy into the majority caucus. It is energy the DC GOP establishment desperately needs. Without it, last night’s historic win will be only a blip on the political landscape. Rep. Bachmann is, in many ways, one of the leaders of the ‘tea party’ in Congress. Incoming GOP members would be well-served to have one of their own in leadership. God speed, Rep. Bachmann.

She would be replacing Mike Pence who will be stepping down from the GOP leadership so that he can run for Governor of Indiana or President in 2012

[ReneeLynn]

Great idea. As long as she can keep up her other activities.

[Keith in Iowa]

You’e right, not a good idea... it’s EXCELLENT!!!

She can be the one to tell the rest of those establishment wazoo apertures that they need to play ball because if they don’t she’ll shove the bat up their ass.

Would someone be interested in posting up Eric Cantor’s 24 page plan discussed over at Polico.com? It’s an ordeal from my computer.

[FloridaSunrise]

Why not, I think she is the real deal.

Christine O’ Donnell with an IQ.

[kidd]

Right.
She should go for Speaker of the House.

[Robwin]

You go girl. In their face.

Not to mention too, her district consists of the exurbs and far flung ‘burbs of the Twin Cities. Eventually, her “safe” district of Saint Cloud, Wright County and Anoka County will become a “swing” district.

A good pick for speaker would be somebody from suburban Texas.

sorry about the double post..

Because as much as I like her and much as you like her, she will draw the kind of ridiculous and vicious attacks that will likely damage if not destroy her. I don’t want to see that happen.

I don’t think a woman should be in that position. It’s grossly unfortunate and maybe it’s chauvinistic of me to say so, but obviously women can be attacked with total impunity (whore, witch) and there’s no pushback from womens’ groups. That’s just how I see it.
