Michele Bachmann has an anti-war primary opponent who's embarrassed by her

Immelman says Bachmann showed a weakness on national security issues last year when she claimed knowledge of a secret plan to partition Iraq. He says her recent claim that more domestic oil drilling would bring back $2 a gallon gas is a pipe dream.

"It just doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me," he said. "I think we face serious national security and economic issues, and we do need competent leadership in Washington, D.C. and competent leadership to represent the 6th district."


Bachmann claims she welcomes the challenger, and RepubliCon Ron Carey says it won't even be a distraction. Anyone up for a cross-over campaign in the 6th? :evilgrin:
