Sunday's Dateline: Bachmann's Divine Mission

Sunday's Dateline follows Michele Bachmann as she attracts strong views over her Christian far-right campaign to be the next US President.

The next United States Presidential election is still over a year away, but there's no doubt the Republicans' campaigning has already begun… and one candidate is attracting extremes of both adoration and revulsion.

Sunday's Dateline follows rising Tea Party star Michele Bachmann in Iowa, where she's preaching a strong Christian agenda of fighting abortion and gay rights, as well as promising to cut taxes, social services and Obama's healthcare reforms.

There's no doubting the enthusiastic support of her followers, but elsewhere there's outrage at a candidate who claims to have had a divine vision of the future sent to her by Jesus Christ.

Watch the story, and see a behind the scenes look at the difficulties David O'Shea had trailing Bachmann, on the Dateline website.
