Bachman Rises from the Ashes

From our friends at Roll Call we're told that Michele Bachmann has announced her candidacy for re-election.    We knew it wouldn't take long from the time she left the presidential race.   We hope she prevails as it is nice to have someone in Congress say what they believe.

Here's what Roll Call said:

"After a failed bid for the White House, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann said she will run for a fourth term in Congress this year.

"I'm looking forward to coming back and bringing a strong, powerful voice to Washington, D.C.," the conservative Republican said in an interview with the Associated Press.

Depending on the final map — Congressional redistricting in Minnesota still remains uncertain — Bachmann will likely have a good shot at joining the 113th Congress.
