Michele Bachman Travels to New Hampshire, Confuses Basic U.S. History 
----------------------------------------------------------------------



Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann's of Minnesota traveled to New
Hampshire over the weekend to speak to supporters at a number of
invitation-only and pay-for-your-seat events, as well as a Tea Party
fundraiser. Alhough she has not officially declared her intention to run
for president in 2012, observers believe the announcement is likely. But
her political ambitions may have been dealt a setback when she flubbed
the country's basic history during a speech in New Hampshire.

bq. Rep. Michele Bachmann: "What I love about New Hampshire and what we
have in common is our extreme love for liberty. You're the state where
the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord."
