Too bad her district will stay republican now (unless the GOP picks another wacko).
Romney won her district by 15 points but she only carried it by 1.
That district was gerrymandered specifically for the GOP (it's the only one in blue Minnesota).

They're just going to put in another right wing a$$hole. There's no way the person could be any crazier and dumber so it would be less of an embarrassment to 6th distict of Minnesota and the country, but the next person will probably vote the exact same way as here...hopefully will less taxpayer wasteful antics and ethics violations.

Well, the guy who almost beat her last year just dropped out of the race today.
He basically had no chance with Bachmann out (Romney won that district by 15 pts).
