Bachmann's fire keeps prompting cool response from GOP establishment

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann has had an epic week.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was her guest at a closed-door session on the Constitution, and her tea party rebuttal to the State of the Union exploded on the cable networks, allowing her to grab the spotlight as a standard-bearer for the conservative movement. Cable chatterers and newspapers talked just as much about Bachmann as they did about the official Republican responder, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan.

And therein lies the challenge for Republicans.

For all of Speaker John Boehner's efforts to stage-manage the opening days of the Republican House, handpick his inner circle and keep his party on message, Bachmann keeps jumping into the fray. The tea party loves her, the media promotes her, and she is a huge draw on the fundraising circuit.

5. Between Sarah, Christine and now Bachmann, they

are making the Republicans really look bad not to mention Republican women. The Repubs tolerated the likes of Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin because neither have or are running for office. But now that the ignorance and craziness has extended to aspirants and holders of public office, they are being seen as fools even by conservatives many who are switching their party affiliation to Independent.
