Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann 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. Although 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.

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, at Lexington and Concord.”
