Prediction: Bachmann will pull a Palin within six months.

Since Michelle Bachmann held her House seat by the very narrowest of margins, I fully expect her to resign next year and attempt to go the celebrity ex-politician route. Watch for it.

Look for her on Fox.

What will happen if she does resign to go 'celeb'? I mean to her House seat?

Congress gives her more food for her ego.
On Fox she would just be another shrieking head of many.

She hasn't done anything in Congress, really, and I expect her to sign on with some right wing "think" tank or something like that. Fox News doesn't want her. She has a terrible on-air voice and she's stupid as a post. She'll quickly fade from view, IMO.
