Is Michele Bachmann going a bit rogue?

The Minnesota congresswoman, a tea party favorite and possible 2012 presidential contender, will be giving her own response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech on Tuesday.

The Republican lawmaker's rebuttal will be broadcast on www.TeaPartyExpress.org, the website of a political action committee based out in California.

The Republican Party, however, has officially tapped Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to deliver its response to the president's address.

But that's apparently not going to stop Bachmann from getting her conservative message out there. So what did the Twitterverse think of the news? Well, most were down on the idea, but there were a few positive comments. Check out a some tweets, below.
