Bachmann reiterates $2 gas pledge
Michele Bachmann on Sunday doubled down on her widely questioned guarantee that she would bring the price of gasoline back under $2 per gallon if she were elected president but also tried to distance herself somewhat from support for potential drilling in Florida’s environmentally sensitive Everglades wetlands.

I don’t think $2 a gallon gas is unrealistic-gas was $1.79 when Obama took office. But drilling in the Everglades is absolutely absurd.
I’m afraid this, the mental retard thing, and the other gaffes are gonna make her Congressional re-election campaign a nail-biter. About the only thing that might save her is a strong anti-Obama national wave in 2012.
