Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) often denies having any immediate ambitions for higher office, but her campaign apparently mixed up exactly what she’s running for this year.
Associated Press reporter Martiga Lohn tweeted on Saturday that upon signing up at Bachmann’s House campaign website, she received a confirmation message from “Bachmann for Senate.” Lohn then followed up with comment from Bachmann’s campaign manager, who said that it was a typo.
If Bachmann were to run for the Senate, this begs the question as to when she would do it. Would it be at the next Minnesota Senate election in 2012, against the very popular Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar? Or might it be in 2014, against that great bogeyman of Republicans everywhere, Sen. Al Franken?
