The GOP has no one to blame but themselves. The more they tie themselves to the religious right, the less influence they will have in national elections (or even state elections, the Senate races proved that last night).

If they ran on a platform of pure economic reform, they'd get back a lot of votes, including mine.

I'm damned proud of my state for what they did yesterday. Minnesota blocked a Voter ID amendment, blocked a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, and almost kicked Mrs. CrazyTown, Michele Bachmann, out of Congress.

Maybe 2014.

I'm afraid I don't know much about politics in Minnesota, but why do you think Bachmann keeps getting elected? Surely, a rival candidate need only release an advertisement showing a string of her crazy quotations, then sit back and let the votes come in?

Her district is super-conservative and to keep her in office, her district was restructured to be even MORE conservative in this election.

And she still only received 50.5% of the vote. It's only a matter of time until Crazy Eyes is booted the fuck out of Congress and everyone will be the better for it.
