Rep.
Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., has a response to politicos who claim that she and the other Republican presidential candidates constitute an unimpressive crew. The critics are wrong, she says, according to
The Hill.

"I think people, especially after the debate on Monday night, were very satisfied with what they saw with the candidates," she told Fox News. "I think that's what you saw on Monday night, and I think that's what you'll be seeing going forward."
Bachmann criticized the Massachusetts healthcare plan championed by Mitt Romney when he was governor. But she didn’t go after him too hard. "Whether it's on the state level or the federal level, I think it's unconstitutional to require anybody to purchase health insurance as a condition of citizenship," Bachmann said.
