Thursday: Bachmann, Tinklenberg air it out
Sharp differences between the candidates emerged, sometimes in sharp exchanges, on issues from the economy to energy to immigration.

ST. CLOUD - Confronting signs of a narrowing contest in the Sixth Congressional District, Rep. Michele Bachmann and DFL challenger Elwyn Tinklenberg linked each other Thursday to an unpopular President Bush in a debate with sharp exchanges on immigration, oil drilling and the financial rescue plan.

"Representative Bachmann continues to embrace this president and his policies and the failed strategies of the past," Tinklenberg said.

Tinklenberg replied, "I think it's just a little untoward to exploit a tragic situation to advance a narrow ideological agenda in regard to immigration. Going after Olga Franco and every other immigrant because of that accident just doesn't seem right to me."

Bachmann called that remark "highly offensive, especially for the families who are victims, not only just here in Minnesota but all across America" and said illegal immigrants were "bringing in diseases, bringing in drugs, bringing in violence."

The debate occurred as the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee plans to begin spending money in the district, citing an internal poll that it says shows the race narrowing, with Bachmann holding a slim lead.
