Mitt Romney got an endorsement today that highlights the challenge his campaign will have with satisfying Tea Party conservatives while also appealing to independent voters. Michele Bachmann, the decidedly crazy congresswoman from Minnesota, appeared in Virginia with former governor Romney in order to give her endorsement. How can you try to pivot towards the middle when you appear beside right-wing radicals like Bachmann? It will be a real challenge, but if anyone is capable of intellectual jujitsu, it is Romney.
