Almost one month after abandoning her presidential campaign, Michele Bachmann today announced that she will be running for re-election to Congress in Minnesota.
Word of her plans, first conveyed to the Associated Press during a Jan. 25 interview, puts to rest questions about what Bachmann’s career would hold after her run for the GOP presidential nomination catapulted her into national headlines.
Bachmann was elected to Congress in 2006, during the year that Democrats swept congressional elections and took over majority of the US House and Senate.
Citing “the absolute need” to repeal the federal health-care law and the banking regulations embedded in the Dodd-Frank legislation, Bachmann declared in an email today that she is “not done."
“Our campaign [for president] changed the focus of this presidential election.”
Meanwhile, Bachmann’s presidential campaign still carries debt up to $447,000, according to 4th quarter numbers released Tuesday.
Bachmann ended her campaign on Jan. 4, one day after finishing in sixth place in the Iowa caucuses, last among the candidates competing in the state.

Lol!
I'm shocked!
With any luck the people of her district will reward her for making a laughing stock out of them, with a resounding NO vote!
*corn dog* anyone?
Does she even still have a district? I mean, after all, she did encourage her constituents to not complete that evil, nasty census in 2010.
Believe me, she will be re-elected. All she has to do is get all of her kids to the polls.
Oh boy! I can't wait.
Da Noid,
could be right.... the 6th district will lose about 100,000 voters in the redisrticting that will be finished in April by the MN courts based on the census.
To the people of Minnesota: Remember the saying, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!" It is best you ignore this loony batsh-t. She hasn't done anything for you, but spend all her time campaigning for her losing battle. Anyone with an ounce of sense, avoids her like a plague.
Trying to convince your voters you are under cooked? That bird is so dry, an electric knife would break trying carve into the carcass. Maybe her boy-toy Bachmann could grab a tub of butter to soften her up. Although she might find it hard to coax him and the tub of butter out of the closet.
Oh? Really? How so?
Sorry, sweetie, it was NEVER about you.
Bachmann said it was her goal to make Barack Obama a one-term president.
I can't wait to throw that comment in her face when he wins re-election in November.
Dear MN Sixth District:
Haven't you had enough of Bachmann? Because you have embarrassed the rest of MN long enough.
Time for her to go for a nice, long, quiet rest, where the good doctors can try to bring her back to reality.
Thanks, Love, newdayDAWNING
Her mission now may be to infiltrate congress like she did while working for IRS............most ridiculous lie ever.
She has to make sure she stays on top of her government welfare farm subsidy.
The Republic is safe.
She's gotta protect those farm subsidies for their "farm" and medicare payments to the faith healing clinic her loving husband runs
"Bitchy Bachmann" the "Bonehead Birther," and is a "Socially Sadistic" towards her fellow citizens. She likes dancing around on the House Floor with "Crazy Cantor" with rotten tea bags hanging from their "Elephant Ears." What a joke America!
After her performance in the Presidential race the people of her district would be foolish to reelect her but if they do they get what they deserve.
I almost wish I lived in her district just so I could campaign against her.
They say we get the leaders we deserve. I hope she loses, and loses BIG.
GOTTA be a joke...right?
Bachmann, the crazy lady is getting more crazy everyday.
Well now--what are her chances of getting a real job, anyway?
It would take absolutely nothing, but her own words re-printed and/or shown in video clips to beat this lunatic. The opposition could not be accused of going "negative" just by showing statement after statement, video after video, of her being herslf....the wing-nut job. Then, at the end of the advetisement, just say "Would you like a change?". Please vote for Joe Smith...whoever...humpty dumpty. This is a dangerous woman, and like Sanctorum, is nothing less than America's Catholic version of the Aytollahs and Muslim crazies. Heck I would run against the dumb bitch if I was in Minnesota, even though I'm not a politician, just out of my patriotic duty to save the country from her.
