Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), the darling of right-wing activists who recently founded the House Tea Party Caucus, is now further seeking to advance her national profile — she’s starting her own leadership PAC.

In the finest traditions of political action committees, the committee’s title is built as a complex acronym around her name: MICHELEPAC, the “Many Individual Conservatives Helping Elect Leaders Everywhere” PAC.

Bachmann filed the paperwork just this past Friday, so the committee has not yet reported raising any money.
