Meet Michele. Make that 'Roz'

When the Prude calls Michele Bachmann an over achiever, she probably means that she is jealous of the Republican presidential candidate.

The woman was a straight-A cheerleader. She won a Miss Congeniality beauty contest. She worked on a kibbutz in Israel, gave birth to five kids and fostered oodles more. She helped start a charter school, was a lawyer for the Treasury Dept. and became the 1st Republican woman to represent Minnesota in Congress.  She is older than The Prude. But cuter.

Here is what people like about Candidate Bachmann:

she is extremely conservative fiscally and politically

she is extremely outspoken on her conservative Christian views

she is extremely cute in a conservative sort of way. 

Here is what people hate about her:

she is extremely conservative fiscally and politically

she is extremely outspoken on her conservative Christian views

she is extremely cute, in a conservative sort of way.

What obstacles does she have to overcome?

She is, by conservative estimates, so far behind the other candidates in Iowa that Iowa corn stands higher in the polls than she does.

What does she have going for her?

She won her Minnesota Senate seat against Elwyn Tinklenberg.

Now she is running against Mitt and Newt. Her record of beating gentlemen with unusual names is stellar.

What plug can The Prude give her?

Her tendency to engage in the hyperbole so dear to The Prude’s heart.

How would The Prude advise Michele Bachmann?

That name. It is so straight-A Minnesota cheerleader.

She needs a nickname that will give her broader appeal without falling into the salamander/slugger/snicker categories.

I’m hovering between ‘Roz’ and ‘Harley’. 

If you have any other nicknames let The Prude know.  We’ll suggest them to Candidate Bachmann. It may not be too late to  give her a fighting chance in Iowa.

Tomorrow: Meet and Greet Newt Gingrich!
