Michele Bachmann may have won Saturday’s Iowa straw poll with flying colors. But the road ahead for her could get pretty bumpy once some of her past statements come to light and catch up with her.

Of the three most plausible candidates for the Republican nomination, two are deeply associated with a theocratic strain of Christian fundamentalism known as Dominionism.
