Wither Bachmann?
It’s official. Michele Bachmann is suspending her bid for President, months after she became the first Flavor Of The Month to collapse. Where will she go from here? She doesn’t have a lot of great options.
She could run for re-election here in CD6, but that’s an awfully long way to fall for a one-time presidential candidate. Still, it’s an option. Bachmann may be nuts, but she’s not a Palin-style megalomaniac.
She could run against Amy Klobuchar for Senate. That seems like suicide, and I think she’s smarter than that.
The last and best option appears to be a run against Al Franken in 2014. Every big-shot in the MNGOP is going to want that nomination, because they think Franken is vulnerable, but Bachmann would certainly be a formidable candidate for the GOP nomination. How she would fare against Franken, though, is another story. I really don’t see how she can win outside of the conservative stronghold of CD6.
What do you think, dear readers? What should Bachmann’s next move be? What will it be?
