Was I the only one who caught Michelle Bachmann claiming that she won 5 elections in 4 yrs?

I'm still baffled by that statement, but none of the pundits seemed to have picked up on this.

Anyone else?

1. Perhaps you're the only one still listening to her. n/t

3. The only time you should be "baffled" by a Bachmann statement

is when you're NOT being baffled by a Bachmann statement...

4. She was the corndog queen of the county fair!

6. Just a thought --

She was first elected to Congress in 2006, and her most recent reelection was in 2010, so that's three elections in four years. If she considers primary elections too, then there would also be the primaries in 2008 and 2010 (the one in 2006 being outside the four-year window).

9. True, but no normal person counts primaries in that number. When a politician asserts

that he/she has won elections, most people think general elections, since if one loses a primary, then there's no real election win.

7. Didn't catch that. But her claim last Sat that she's been a business woman since age 5

was one of her more outlandish claims..
