12. Actually Bachmann was angry about redistricting

She went on about the liberal supreme court justices gerrymandering her out of he district. She did not want to move and was smart enough to know that this would cause her trouble. So election day 2012 she could not even vote for herself; she lives in the 4th district. I think this might have been one of the factors that held her down to a 5000 vote win.

Any other Republican who lives in district and who's slight more sane is going to win by 10-15 in the district as drawn
