Here’s some of the main players that we’re speaking about:

Michelle Bachmann

Bachmann’s outlandish style leaves on few in her corner.  With ridiculous remarks about the Executive Branch, Bachmann has positioned herself into a spot with little opposition when it comes to being reelected in 2010.  The item that moves her to the front of this list is her dedication to the Tea Party.   She has officially submitted a request to start the Tea Party Caucus.  This not only puts her in a position for a “successful” run in 2010, but also a possible “dark horse” in the 2012 presidential bid.  This, along with the lack of any idea on immigration, will ensure a weak bid for 2012.  I can’t say that much for her constituents in her district for 2010.

Sarah Palin

The life of Sarah Palin is confusing and awaiting a crumbling down.  Between a daughter shopping around for a reality show with her Playgirl fiance and making BOATLOADS of cash for speaking at poor public universities, Palin’s “like-ability” has soared in the conservative circles.  She, too, is a star in the Tea Party circuit and the probability of her running in 2012 is off the charts “YES!”.  This pleases most liberals, as she has little experience… in just about everything…. maybe talking.

Jeb Bush

Jeb is a real possibility for a GOP front-runner.  Even though the 2012 election IS sometime away, I don’t think voters will forget his brother’s economic stance and foreign policy problems.  Jeb isn’t W, but the apple can’t/doesn’t fall from the Bush tree.  The indistinct scent of  totally unregulated business and the proposed hegemony, most likely, won’t be voted back into office. We will see, though.  The 2010 elections will give us a better idea.  The only real way that Jeb Bush has a chance is by voters choosing Republican candidates over Democrats, but most projections suggest that it’s an anti-incumbent year, rather than a political change.

John McCain

John McCain seems to be less and less Mavericky as the days go by.  Wait, he’s actually so Mavericky, he goes Maverick on his traditional Mavericky ways.  With a 180 degree turn on immigration, the loyal GOPer lost the 2008 election on weak/wishy-washy stances on big issues.  His opponent is a Tea Partier who lacks any real sense of… reality and decency. The Democratic primary is between an investigatory journalist and a vice-mayor from Tuscon.  The reality of McCain losing now seems far-fetched and the legacy of flip-flopping will continue.

It has come to this contributor’s (also a high school history teacher) attention that some of our representatives need a history lesson.  Luckily, the lesson was provided by another media source, CNN.

The lack of insight should shame her into hiding. More than anything, though, she lacks the understanding of the power that bloggers hold and the scrutiny that they put our government under.  This is not the first time she has mistakenly taken history into her own hands, nor does this contributor think it will be the last.

The Utopian Politico is not a rhetorically reactive and passive blog.  We pride ourselves on our active voice and have only responded to this story due to evidence in folly and the need to be one of  the many voices on the internet to disavow the undereducated representation that is so clearly evident.

To futher the education of Michelle Bachmann, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has built a website — www.bachmannwatch.com — devoted entirely to Bachmann’s rhetoric. (source)
