Feisty, well-spoken, issues-oriented Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) has emerged as a conservative hero in the House of Representatives. It is great to hear that she is polling 9 points above her rival. Ed Morrissey reports:
In each of the last three election cycles, Democrats have made the Minnesota 6th Congressional District a targeted race — especially so after Rep. Michele Bachmann became a nationally-known conservative activist. . . This year, though, a new Survey USA poll shows that Democrats have failed to mount a serious challenge. . .
Democrats want to take Bachmann out of the national mix and curtail her activism by nationalizing her elections. Instead, she’s cruising to a convincing victory while helping other Republicans win in tough districts.
