A correction that needs work
If we mention Bachmann's Soviet Union quote, we need a sidebar article showing what political capital her opponents have made out of what was (at worst) a slip of the tongue. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:22, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

==I made a minor correction, but the page needs work==
I changed the statement that "Michele Bachmann became the nation's first female presidential candidate from the GOP" to "Michele Bachmann became one of the nation's first female presidential candidate from the GOP". Margaret Chase Smith was a Republican Candidate for president in 1964. If memory serves, she even won some delegates and got votes at the convention. I actually think the paragraph needs to be rewritten, but my minor edit at least eliminates the false impression that there'd never been a Republican Woman candidate for president before.
