She’ll run simultaneously, like most of these folks do. Ron Paul is still wasting space in the House, ain’t he?

There's a difference, though. Ron Paul has a safe Republican seat, while Bachmann's district is competitive. A quixotic run for president could cost her, as it did Bob Dornan in 1996, in his Orange County district that leaned Republican, but not overwhelmingly so. You'll recall he lost his seat to Loretta Sanchez in the election--even though Bob Dole carried the district against Clinton. Despite the possibility of of ilegal alien voting fraud there, it's still a precedent that recommends caution. We need not to lose the voice of this great congresswoman altogether.
