Running for President again? Minnesota senate or governor?

She's not running again because no one expects her to win:

No. That's a dumb comment.
She won this time, numbnuts. She's not going to announce that she's not
running again with two whole years until reelecton. She can announce
she's not running again at any time. There's something else going on
with her.
She's probably going to run for the Republican presidential nomination
again, but early and full-time, without the distraction of her
congressional office and House voting, etc. There won't be another
"Romney who's been running for five years and with big bucks" out there
this time around. She probably figures that she knows the mistakes she
made last time, and "won't do it again."
If she's out of congress in 2014, she starts right in campaigning for
the 2016 Republican presidential primaries; getting on all the ballots,
setting-up fund raising; sucking-up to the Tea Party.
It is highly doubtful that she could win statewide in blue-state
Minnesota, for senator the governorship.
Risky Biz:
"Mrs. Bachmann spent heavily in her last Congressional campaign and eked
out a victory by less than two percentage points.
I wrote:
Uh, she won.
Risky Biz:
Her opponent in that race had already declared his intention to run
against her again in 2014.
I wrote:
She addressed that in her video, Risky Forec. She said that's not the
reason and it's only the line put out by the left wing media. If she
runs again, she'd have the power of incumbancy against an opponent she
already beat. Why would she announce she's not running, two-years-out,
because of this loser?
Risky Biz (further quotes):
And so far this year her fund-raising has been paltry.
I wrote:
"So far THIS year"? Duh, the election is over, she won.
She had huge money from campaign fund raising for that election.
Risky Bizblithered:
Mrs. Bachmann raised less than $700,000 during the first three months of
the year, according to the most recent federal disclosures. That is less
than half of what she raised during the same period in 2011."

also running for president, duh.
Also, a congressperson raising 700,000 in the three months after an
election is huge.
Risky Biz blithered:
Expect her to be shooting off her stupid mouth on talk radio or Fox
where she'll have a guaranteed audience of fantasy political junkies
like Travel.

Well, chortle, you were just shooting off your stupid mouth, above, and
got your ass kicked.
Also, I'm against Bachmann; note the thread title, dumbass (she's just a
phony opportunist, who would "deal" with the left; not a real
conservative). So, you don't get any satisfaction there, either. You
pretty much wasted your time, with only another humiliating ass-kicking
to show for it.
