I know that this ticket would lead to an even worse defeat for the GOP than OTL, but what if the Republican nominee Senator John McCain of Arizona selected Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota as his vice presidential nominee, instead of OTL's Alaska Governor Sarah Palin? Bachmann is even less experienced than Palin, but to the right of her. What influence would Michele Bachmann have over the Tea Party wave of the 2010 Midterms? Would this help Bachmann's candidacy in 2012, or would it hurt her even worse?
