[quote] Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, an outspoken Republican with close ties to the tea party, announced Monday that she is running for president, a candidacy that could further shake up a volatile fight for the GOP nomination.

The first female contender to enter the 2012 race, Bachmann announced her bid during a Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire. The third-term Minnesota congresswoman has been leaning heavily toward a run over the past few months, visiting early primary states, raising money and railing against President Barack Obama.

“We cannot risk giving President Obama four more years to dismantle our nation. We must act now,â€

Does anyone remember the time when the Tea Party was supposedly composed of libertarians? It seems that all the prominent members nowadays are social conservatives who are out to earn their place by being mavericks and annoying the establishment.

Anyway, she doesn't have much of a chance with the higher ups in the GOP.
