[polichick]

3. Maybe the money will be spent on an ad showing Bachman's outrageous remarks.

[BrklynLiberal]

4. Her Larry King appearance might raise some more $$ for her.

See. Chris Matthews did have a method to his madness...by allowing her to rant unimpeded.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

30. Thanx MaddezMom! XO!

[AirmensMom]

6. LOL!

And I had JUST said to harleydad, "I wonder if Rachel will mention the $30K raised for Bachmann's opponent tonight." As soon as the words were out of my mouth, she said it.
:rofl:

[glowing]

13. she so rocks...

[krkaufman]

26. In wonder how much Bachmann is raising, in parallel, though ...

... from her hate minions.

[AirmensMom]

38. You don't think

they would actually part with their money, do you? Well, OK, maybe some would. Maybe there's a link somewhere.

[krkaufman]

40. Well, that *was* what I was wondering when typing that post.

Given the Republicans' anemic fund-raising this cycle, there may not be much money to be had. Which gave rise to my other theory... that Bachmann intentionally manufactured this kerfuffle in order to draw-in money from out-of-state fundie and anti-Obama whack-jobs, because her local/statewide funding wasn't meeting expectations/needs.

[Bozita]

18. She needs to spend more time 'splainin stuff on the teevee.

[malaise]

25. This fundraiser is mind-blowing

DU is the best.

[AlCzervik]

28. it's fantastic!

[Bozita]

34. Bachmann's teevee appearances make this fundraising avalanche a real news story

[blaze]

29. Can we hit $50,000

before the night is over?

Then bring on the next right wing nut just who wants to spew a bunch of garbage about our next President!!!!

[malaise]

32. Maybe before Rachel is over

$44,255 now

[blaze]

33. $44,565!!

This is fun!!!

MN-06: Bachmann in Big Trouble
by brownsox
Fri Oct 17, 2008 at 06:10:06 PM PDT

Surely you're now curious about whether Rep. Michele Bachmann, everybody's favorite right-wing nutcase of the hour, has any chance of actually being unseated in the coming elections.

There's good news for you, courtesy of the DCCC.

Grove Insight for the DCCC. 10/10-12. Likely voters. MoE 4.9% (No trend lines)

Bachmann (R-inc) 42
Tinklenberg (D) 38

This is perhaps not surprising, for if ever there were a Representative who defines the term "Bushbot", it is Michele Bachmann. That's best illustrated in picture form by her famous kiss of the President (after the 2007 State of the Union). But as this ad from Alliance for a Better Minnesota notes, it's in her voting record as well.

[AlCzervik]

31. over $44,000 now so suck it Michelle and by all means keep that freaking gob engaged, please.

[Cerridwen]

39. It's heading for $50K as I type this - 7p pacific n/t

[tammywammy]

44. I wish I could give something, but I can't this week

So instead here's a KICK!

[FVZA_Colonel]

47. Well over $75,000 at 9:47 PST.
