Reporting from Stillwater, MN—

Taking a swipe at her rivals for the GOP presidential nomination, Mrs. Bachmann said Monday that Republicans will take the White House in 2012, so the party should not “settle” and nominate a moderate candidate on the belief that one is more electable than a true conservative.

“Every four years, conservatives are told we have to just stand next to the wall, sit in the back of room and we have to get around a candidate that we’re told is electable,” Bachmann told about 40 people who came to a rally in a hotel ballroom. “We’re told the conservative is the candidate who is not electable. We’re told only the moderate candidate in the race is the one that’s electable, but that isn’t true, because we know the American people are looking for their champion. They’re looking for a fighter. They want someone who’s actually had that experience, someone who’s actually stood up for them, someone who’s been fighting these fights.

To my beloved followers-Do you think Michele has what it take to make it to the White House? Are the Republicans wasting their time with her? Polly wants to know what you think!
