Will Bachmann Get Booted Out of Congress?

Antigay Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann is losing support among Independents, according to new polls reported on in Jezebel.

Bachmann only leads her Democratic challenger Jim Graves by two percentage points, according to a Democratic-leaning poll. While Graves's campaign pushed for the poll, therefore bringing its impartiality into question, it still showed proof that Bachmann is losing support among Independents. With her tendency for gaffes, including linking a Hillary Clinton staffer with the Muslim brotherhood, Bachmann's popularity appears to be waning. Over the last two months, support for Bachmann among Independents dipped 20 percentage points.

"And even if Bachmann gets the boot in November, Jezebel is pretty sure she'll do just fine as a host on Fox News."

No truer words spoken.

really needs some help IMO. In fact, we have a number of politicians that need some serious help IMO.

just evil and don't care about people in need.

Her, I think she really has an illness.

Maybe the depression she enters after losing will cause her to seek real help instead of relying on that quack of a husband.

I actually feel very sorry for Bachmann. She's nuts and she's been used by some incredibly evil men. I hope she is able to gain some sense of reality and serenity.

I do want her out of office. She should never have been there in the first place.

Have two sons living in Minnesota...Lino Lakes and Plymouth areas. They both agree the chances for Michele Blankhead is very lightly she will get defeated.
