Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), who is in the middle of serving only her second term, has definitely become a national star of the GOP. She has three different campaign stops coming up in the next few weeks, which are outside both the Washington area and her own district in Minnesota.

Bachmann’s newest out-of-state trip is an event on January 28 in California, with the Lincoln Club of Orange County. The group has previously hosted such high-profile Republicans as Rudy Giuliani, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, George W. Bush and Norm Coleman. And now Michele Bachmann is included in those same ranks.

Bachmann’s other upcoming out-of-state campaign events are a February 12 rally with the North Dakota Republican Party, and a February 26 event in Ohio with the Hamilton County (Cincinnati) GOP. She also spoke this past August in Colorado, calling upon conservatives to “slit our wrists” and become blood-brothers against the Democrats’ health care proposals.

Bachmann has become a national star of the GOP ever since the closing days of the 2008 election, when she called upon the media to investigate Barack Obama and congressional Democrats for being anti-America, and then narrowly survived her re-election battle. With frequent media appearances, and her prominent role in heading up the Capitol Tea Party last November, she’s only gone up since then.
