Bachmann: Minnesota senate race will be resolved ‘by March’

U.S. Rep Michele Bachmann predicted, in a liveblog today at  the Washington Times Web site,  that Minnesota’s Senate election standoff will be over “by March.”

“If the courts apply an equal application of the law per Bush v. Gore,” the trained attorney wrote, “then I believe there is no question Norm Coleman will prevail.” 
Asked what she would have said had she been tapped to give the Republican response to President Obama’s speech last night, Bachmann criticized the federal stimulus legislation as “a full-bore subsidy of inaction.”

Asked about a bill to extend voting rights to citizens of Washington, D.C., Bachmann explained in detail her opposition on partisan grounds, adding as an afterthought that “the bill on its face is unconstitutional.”

In all, Bachmann fielded seven questions, six from Times staffers and one from “Ramsey, Minnesota” about the prospects of reversing Democrats’ programs “after the fall of Obama.”

Bachmann disputed that question’s premise, but not because she doesn’t think Obama will fall. “We do not need to wait for Obama’s fall to act,” Bachmann wrote.
