This being leftist MN, she has probably maxed out on her rise. She won by only 1% last time and she was facing a rematch with the same guy (although I expect ‘14 to be a better GOP year, it still wasn’t in the bag for her). Of course, there are two key races up there next year, against the execrable Governor Dayton and Sen. Frankenstein.

Bear in mind the rotten GOPe treatment of no help, money or otherwise, during her campaign.

I have to wonder if that is helping weigh down her decision not to run as well...

Redistricting did not help Bachmann and neither did the predictable campaign of slime from the Minneapolis Red Star and Sickle. A conservative can retain that seat.

IMHO I am thinking until the GOP grows a spine and seriously goes after the Commie in the WH, the GOP will lose the House and not retake the Senate. Ergo - the end of the GOP in 2014. OBAMA SEES THIS ALSO, hence the push now for ILLEGAL COMPREHENSIVE LEGISLATION. Ask yourself WHY NOW?

Get these naive GOPers to sign on, pass the bill and the very next day Schmukie will join the chorus of illegals claiming they are being discriminated against and run up to SCOTUS to stop the denial of voting rights. SCOTUS agrees and bingo - the RATS have a FED majority for the rest of the sorry Nation's history.

Ask yourself why the GOP should agree with anything that is supported by the head RATS Zero, Schumkie, Turbbin, leaky Leahy.

The Senate measure, S.744, seeks to balance opening the door to U.S. citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants, sought by Democrats, with enough border-security improvements to satisfy Republicans. The measure includes an agreement reached last week between Democrats and Republican Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah on visas for high-skilled foreign workers.

“We would like to finish the farm bill next week so we can move on to immigration the week of the 10th,” Jentleson said in an e-mail. He said Reid, a Nevada Democrat, would “strongly prefer not to wait any longer” to begin working on the immigration bill.

My forecast - This will pass the Senate, and then move on to the GUTLES GOP led House for passage.
