Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is stumping in Moore County today to generate local support for her Republican presidential campaign.

Bachmann came to Pinehurst Thursday night to speak at event to raise money for the Moore County Republican Party in the Member’s Club at Pinehurst Resort. Organizers originally insisted that media not be allowed to cover the fundraiser, but officials later relented when several media outlets showed up for the event.

This morning, she held a “meet-and-greet” event at the Country Club of North Carolina before heading off for a round of golf on the country club’s Dogwood Course with a few supporters.

As she greeted supporters and stepped onto the course wearing a pink CCNC visor, Bachmann said she could understand why so many of her fellow Minnesotans come to Moore County to retire.

“It's a slice of heaven and paradise,” she said. “It’s absolutely beautiful. It’s beautiful, but it's also graciousness. This is really part of the best that America is — to come here and see what America has been able to build up. So, it's fun to come here with like-minded people and to share their joy.”

During her keynote address Thursday night, Bachmann told supporters that she expects Republicans to win big in the 2012 elections.

I don't suppose she is aware of what a ruckus I'm causing in Charlotte. I've posted twice on the topmost interesting stories in the CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, without drawing a single comment!!!

Excerpts:

"For the most part, the GOP officeholders, activists and business leaders at the Perry and Bachmann events - both closed to the news media - liked what they saw and heard."

That ain't news to me!!! For decades the GOP officeholders, activists and business leaders have tucked their heads between their knees, and prayed over and over: “Lord, forgive me for my sins" with "BIG CROCODILE TEARS", when searching for a new superintendent to take the blame for students "NOT LOOKING FOR A GOOD DAY!"

THE FOLLOWING SEEKS TO CHANGE THAT!!!

sj, go into your bathroom. Open the medicine cabinet. Find the little bottle labeled "Ritalin". Take the recommended dosage. Stay indoors until you feel better.

Are you related to Bachmann???? Same incoherent content !!

Probably not since most in the high dollar district think that the Poorer County line stops at Carthage. They refer to Robbins as "those people who live up north ..."

She was at the Member's Club in Pinehurst to speak on Thursday nite and at CCNC to play golf,... and loves our beautiful area, but I betcha she never got a tour of Robbins and the other part of what Tommy calls Poorer County. It sounds like she was here just to raise money and play golf.
