A year after winning Ames straw poll, Bachmann’s political stock takes a hit

9. In Minnesota, her career may well be over.

Despite her district being a conservative one, Minnesotans have a fair-minded attitude. Not all Republicans in her district are conservatives, and many of them may decide that her invisibility in the district during her erstwhile Presidential run and her failure to serve the needs of that district, combined with here notably insane behavior of late, are enough to push them over to her opponent, who is actually a relatively conservative Democrat with a business background.

Minnesota voters are fickle, to a degree, and can turn quickly on candidates who have not lived up to their expectations of service. The farther Bachmann goes to appease the far right, the more she alienates the more moderate Republicans in her district. It may well be that enough of them say "Enough!" in November and give the seat to Graves. That is my hope. Graves will reliably vote with the Democratic House caucus.
