| Description | As the gay marriage debate heats up at the Legislature, Sen. Michele Bachmann is at the center of a storm of questions.
Was the Stillwater Republican, chief sponsor of a proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in Minnesota, hiding in bushes watching as thousands of gay-rights advocates demonstrated on the State Capitol lawn last week?
Did two critics who followed her into a restroom at a town hall meeting pose enough of a threat for her to scream for help and file a police report?
And why has she asked to be assigned a bodyguard?
Talk radio and websites in Minnesota have been abuzz with speculation this week over all these matters, even as Senate DFL leaders canceled a floor session Tuesday at which Bachmann had been expected to try again to force a vote on the marriage amendment. |
