Reply #8: Beauty of this as well is DCCC was going to give him funds [View All]

Now they can give to another candidate and further grow the majority or still give him the funds to help defeat Bachman since she seems to have a lot of cash! Damn, Bachman raised more for him with her heeled foot in mouth crap than he raised in 3rd quarter.

Calling the race in Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District competitive, a national Democratic committee signaled Tuesday that it would commit significant financial support to DFL candidate Elwyn Tinklenberg.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is adding Tinklenberg to its Red to Blue program, a list of candidates deemed capable of beating a Republican incumbent and worthy of extra money. Two years ago 56 Democratic candidates received an average of $400,000 each from the program.

Tinklenberg has trailed Rep. Michele Bachmann in fundraising.

His campaign released new financial reports Tuesday, showing it raised $469,000 in the third quarter of this year, for a total of $1 million during the 2007-08 election cycle. He has $357,000 in cash on hand.
