Michele Bachmann’s District No Longer Exists, But She’s Running for Congress Anyway

This morning, a special court in Minnesota ruled that Michele Bachmann’s home district is to be folded into another district to reflect population shifts from the last 10 years. Bachmann, who is nothing if not tenacious, says she’ll run for re-election, in her home district, anyway — against another incumbent Minnesota Congresswoman. This is going to be the most entertaining Congressional race of 2012.

If Bachmann wants to run in the reconfigured district, she’ll have to face six-term incumbent Democrat Betty McCollum, who, for all intents and purposes, is the complete opposite of Bachmann.
