Michele Bachmann, a three-term congresswoman from Minnesota, is known as much for her conservative views (homosexuality is a "dysfunction" and President Barack Obama is turning America into a "nation of slaves") as for the enmity she arouses in liberals.
As ABC News reports, Bachmann, the founder and chairwoman of the House Tea Party Caucus, will travel to Iowa this month "to seek advice from political forces there and party elders close to the caucus process before coming to a final decision" on whether or not to throw her hat into the ring. If her past decision-making is any indiciation, she will also have a direct consultation with God.
Reaction to the news of a possible Bachmann presidential run has brought about some swift and strong reaction. Surge Desk has a sampling.
Jonathan Capehart of The Washington Post thinks her run is so ridiculous that it could rival a romcom plot:
The Tea Party princess (Mama Grizzly is the Tea Party queen) must be off her rocker if she thinks she's presidential timber. Has neither she nor her staff watched her wacky appearances on "Hardball with Chris Matthews"? On the other hand, seeing how Palin and Bachmann compete against each other for the attention and affections of the conservative base might change my movie analogy of them from "Thelma and Louise" to "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion."
