You might say Congresswoman <a href="http://bachmann.house.gov/">Michele Bachmann</a> is Minnesota Nice herself. From her remarks tonight on the convention floor. You might call it a warm-up: </p> <blockquote><p>Minnesota Nice may be our state's special brand, but the desire to be of service to our fellow man is part of the American DNA.</p></blockquote> <blockquote><p>As Americans we're hard-wired for compassion, to open up our arms, our hearts, and our wallets to lend a helping hand </p></blockquote> <blockquote><p>For<br /> my husband, Marcus, and I, and for our five children, service took the<br /> form of opening our home to welcome 23 foster children.</p></blockquote> <p> Pretty humbling stuff. </p> http://www.blogher.com/minnesota-nice#comments News &amp; Politics children CONVENTIONS dysfunctional family Michele Bachmann Tue, 02 Sep 2008 21:02:42 -0500 BackyardConservative 52837 at http://www.blogher.com
