Redrawing the 6th Congressional district certainly did not help Bachmann but it is still a race since many are suffering from Obama's economic policies of top-down control and relinquishing the sovereignty of the USA to the U.N. and international bodies.

Imagine that. A nominee that actually employs scores of people. Congrats Mr Graves. Now get to work and ensure that M B is unemployed in Jan. 2013. Maybe you can give her a job as a chamber maid in one of your hotels.

If they debate it's going to be hillarious! Bachmanns narrative is going to be and always will be I will defeat Obama care. She is such a joke.

If he doesn't beat her he will be the biggest cad in Minnesota. Anyone have a web site for him so I can donate?

She is the radical, go Jim Graves.

The Bachmann campaign calls Graves a "radical liberal."

I am guess that to Bachmann, a radical liberal is someone who uses their own money to run a business and not government subsidies or grants
Perhaps this could be her campaign slogan, "Pray the Graves Away"

Pray the Graves away!

Classic!

I live in Minnesota. It makes me and everyone I know sick that this wacko is running around proporting to represent us. She is elected by a bunch of rich jerks in one area, I think as some sort of joke. She has to go, and soon.

one of my best friends lives in Minneapolis - and essentially told me the same... and that her district is heavily gerrymandered ....
it is quite disturbing that there are enough people up there like her .....

F & F for support! welcome to the forum .... (and don't take the trolls too seriously)

Compared to Bachmmann, anybody with a brain would be considered "radical".

Who knows what will happen, what's true, but that short piece shows a man with at least some common sense. Refreshing. Can't believe anyone would vote for Bachmann. That's a really scary statement about some of our citizens.

What's really scary is how many people want Palin in the White House, and not just to visit.
She hasn't mentioned her 5 + 23 kids lately. I'm still on the fence that Marcus is the donor.

If the voting public had a shred of common sense and decency a tree stump could be Bachmann.

Don't forget, it's that same public that put her in office.
