Good-Bye Michele Bachmann? We can only hope.

Michele Bachmann went for the presidential brass ring and failed, pissing everyone who supported her off, with her erratic antics. So it goes. Here's an update from my Newsmax newsletter, on a race we don't want to spend any time following: 

Bachmann Faces Tough Race, Losing Conservatives: Three-term Congresswoman and former GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is facing a stiff re-election challenge from Democratic hotel magnate Jim Graves in Minnesota. And after respondents were read brief biographies of the two candidates, Graves received 51 percent of their votes to Bachmann’s 44 percent.

Equally troubling for the incumbent, just 14 percent of those surveyed rated her job performance as “excellent,” and 34 percent rated it as “poor” … many grass-roots conservatives have turned sour on her as a tea party leader … conservatives and tea partyers are less inclined to fork over money to Bachmann this time around, citing the fact she raised millions in 2010 promising to remain in Congress as a thorn against Obama and the GOP establishment … After winning re-election, she soon launched a presidential bid and diverted millions from her congressional coffers. Her bid, which many conservatives saw as an ego trip, failed disastrously … and this year the congresswoman was carved out of her former seat due to redistricting.
