A daily roundup of news and commentary about U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Sixth-district congresswoman Michele Bachmann joined the other major Republican presidential candidates in Las Vegas last night for a CNN-sponsored debate. According to the Star Tribune, Bachmann seemed to hold her own, not coming out on top but also largely avoiding the series of harsh personal exchanges that characterized the event. Bachmann's biggest moment seemed to be her direct appeal to mothers and families who are "at the end of their ropes" worrying about losing their homes to foreclosure. "Hold on, moms out there. It's not too late," she said. (Click the link and scroll down for the video.) As of the time of this writing, there doesn't seem to be a full video of the debate available anywhere online. (No transcript, either.) Here …

A daily roundup of news and commentary about U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Sixth-district congresswoman Michele Bachmann brought her A-game to last night's Bloomberg-Washington Post presidential debate — at least according to one critic. Many others disagree. First, some highlights from her performance: And now for the reviews: Bachmann delivered a "solid performance" says Politico's Reid J. Epstein, who adds, "The Michele Bachmann conservatives fell in love with during the campaign’s early debates returned Tuesday night." Politico appears to be alone in its assessment, however. In his post-debate analysis, The Washington Post's Chris Cizzilla places Bachmann in the "losers" category from last night, arguing she just didn't make a big enough impression. A Slate contributor, noting that Bachmann is barely …

A daily roundup of news and commentary about U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Sixth-district congresswoman and Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann participated in a joint Fox News-Google presidential debate last night. You can watch the entire event, including pre-debate and post-debate analysis, on Fox News Live. You can also read the full trancript. During the debate, Bachmann addressed more than a half-dozen issues, from education to the economy. Below is a sampling of what she said. On taxation: "You should get to keep every dollar that you earn. That's your money; that's not the government's money ... Obviously, we have to give money back to the government so that we can run the government, but we have to have a completely different mindset." On education: "I would take the entire federal …

A daily roundup of news and commentary about U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Sixth-district congresswoman Michele Bachmann will be among the candidates participating in a Republican presidential debate that begins at 6:30 p.m. You can watch the event live on MSNBC or over the web via Politico. The stakes appear to be high for Bachmann at tonight's event. The Star Tribune says her campaign is hoping to regain some of the momentum it lost over the last month. In particular, Bachmann must distinguish herself from Texas Gov. Rick Perry, with whom she'll share the stage for the first time ever. (Side note: Perry might not actually be there, after all.) Around the web, news reports are rife with speculation that Bachmann's campaign is in trouble. The New York Times says that yesterday's big staff shakeup, with the …
