| Tea Party members are furious with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) for her endorsement of Republican Congressman Roy Blunt over state Sen. Chuck Purgason in the Missouri Senate primary. Bachmann plans on traveling to St. Louis this weekend to campaign for Blunt, who has drawn the ire of the conservative Tea Party movement because of his vote for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the federal bailout of Wall Street firms. Tea Partiers, who support the anti-tax Purgason, said they were "shocked" that Bachmann would back Blunt, adding "she has been grossly misled if she understands him to be a Missouri Tea... |

| Last week Rep. Michelle Bachmann was asked what Republicans had in mind should they retake the House of Representatives this November, she replied I think that all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another and expose all the nonsense that is going on. Considering the sheer volume of illegal and impeachable offences committed by Obama and his cohorts over the past couple of years, the House will be very busy indeed. Putting aside Obamas inept leadership, weakening of our national defenses and transparent attempt to socialize our great nation, there are a number of more... |

| As stereotypes go, "Minnesota nice" is not a bad one. It holds that the mid-western residents of Minnesota, with its vast rural landscape and mostly Scandinavian-descended population, are unusually pleasant. But Minnesotans might soon have to give up some of their hard-won reputation for quiet reasonableness thanks to one of their own, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, a fiercely rightwing darling of the Tea Party, who is rapidly becoming one of the most famous politicians in America and may yet outshine Sarah Palin as a potential Republican presidential pick for 2012. Bachmann, whose district is a sprawling stretch of farms and small... |

| Want a sneak preview for what the 2011 legislative calendar has in store? The Intrade prediction market is giving the GOP a 57-percent shot of taking back the House of Representatives this fall, meaning it is more likely to happen than not. And a lot of polls seem to be indicating the same thing. But should that happen, then what? According to Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., the House Republicans should exercise their power to subpoena and hold continuous hearings. Speaking to a gathering for the GOP Youth Convention on July 22 in Washington, D.C., she emphasized this point. Oh, I... |

| House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) is taking a pass on the House Tea Party Caucus. The second-ranking House Republican told POLITICO on Tuesday that he's not joining the group started by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) because he sees it as more of an organic, grass-roots movement rather than a Washington entity. Cantor praised Bachmann for providing another avenue for people to have their voices heard" but said he thinks the tea party is better left outside Washington. I met with several of groups that operated under that moniker in Virginia; theyre not all uniform, Cantor said in his third-floor... |

Bachmann forms Tea Party Caucus

| Republicans have been wrangling for more than a year over how exactly to handle the tea party movement, but now Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is bringing them under the big tent. The House Administration committee, which usually takes days to approve something of this nature, approved Bachmann's request to create a House Tea Party Caucus in a day. It will certainly give the national movement a more official voice within the House Republican Conference. Bachmann, already a hero within the tea party, sent a letter to House Administration Chairman Robert Brady (D-Pa.) Thursday to register the House Tea Party Caucus... |
Michele Bachmann outraises Sarah Palin

| At FrumForum, Tim Mak notes that despite the fuss about the $865,000 Sarah Palin raised for her PAC last quarter, she was out-raised by both Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann, a simple congresswoman who is not actually running for the 2012 nomination. (As far as anyone knows.) Minnesota's favorite baby-farmer Bachmann raised $1.7 million last quarter, despite the fact that, unlike Palin and Romney, she ostensibly has a job. Does this make Bachmann a dark-horse candidate for the GOP nomination? She shares much of Sarah Palin's political skill and ambition, plus the ability to speak extemporaneously. |
Michele Bachmann Poll Below 50%

| With every Republican seat in the House a necessity to keep, conservative Michele Bachmann's race representing Minnesota's 6th District is expected to be tight. She is the hard target for Liberals, who love to hate her and have vowed to overwhelm her campaign financially and every other way. Bachmann is below 50% in the latest poll - not considered a good place for an incumbent, but she saw this scenario in her 2006 and 2008 campaigns. She has pulled it out before, but was not faced with the current animosity. |
