Bachmann hitting the road

The GOP lightning rod schedules appearances with the party faithful

January 22, 2010 at 2:39PM

Rep. Michele Bachmann will be boosting her frequent-flier mileage in the next few weeks with a pair of appearances certain to boost her already-skyrocketing national profile.

The Sixth District Republican is heading to California next week to address the Lincoln Club of Orange County, an organization that bills itself as "limiting government, expanding freedom." It has in the past hosted a slew of prominent Republicans, including former presidents Bush (the younger), Reagan, Ford and Nixon.

The group describes Bachmann thusly:

The fundraiser next Thursday costs a cool $500 per person.

Next up, North Dakota. Bachmann is scheduled to headline a "Take Back America" rally in Bismarck on Feb. 12 sponsored by the state's GOP. The party touts her as "one of America's best-known conservatives."
