Michele Bachmann In Peril As Opponent Jim Graves Nears In Polls

ABC News:

Less than a year ago, Rep. Michele Bachmann was traveling the country, making her case to be the Republican Party's presidential nominee. Today, six weeks out from that long-awaited election, she's caught in an unexpectedly tight race to keep her seat in Congress.

All you liberals commenting on here are so delusional and full of pure hatred that it is simply unfathomable how anyone could be that way. Michelle Bachmann at least has a moral foundation on which to base her actions which the majority of her constituency has confirmed they agree with. She will likely be sent back to Washington again. Take a look in the mirror and ask yourselves if you are a Christian first, a Muslim, Democrat, or something else. Be careful buying into what any political party says.

Bachmann saying God spoke to her to run for President is frightening. Used to be when someone heard God talking to them we avoided them. They were dillusional. Now they are Tea Party politicians. Be careful is right.

Can't believe this race is even close. For that matter - all republicans in the house that are responsible for having our credit rating downrated, for not returning calls to the president and then blaming it on him, for standing in the way of any further progress the last four years but especially the last two years. They should be brought up on treason. Another case where they promised jobs legislation but instead focused on abortion. Their rhetoric is far from their voting record. Not so with democrats.

I don't live in her district but I will send a donation to Jim Graves. Micheal Bachmann is a disgrace.

I am in her district and both myself and my husband are voting for Jim Graves. She is such an embarassment to us here. I pray others in my district 'get a clue.' It is encouraging to see Jim Graves signs and NO Bachmann signs in my neighborhood.

I hope you help Jim Graves canvass. That's what it is going to take. An on the ground effort to unseat that Michelle Bachman nut. She's a huge detriment to society and to progress everywhere.

PLEASE PLEASE get her OUT.. She is an embarrassment to this Country.

Vote her out, Minnesota! She's bad news!!!

I've sent money to Graves twice already.

If she made that face to my kid, I'd hope he would barf on her.

I don't live in MN 6th, but I've now donated 3 times to Graves' campaign. A Graves win send a massive shockwave through the GOP.

Others who have a real shot to hobble the GOP with a little help:

Joe Donnelly in Indiana
Patrick Murphy in Florida (vs Allen West)
Richard Carmona in Arizona

Most of the country knows Bachmann is a "wackjob" I hope the voters in her district send her packing.

Here's hoping. The last two elections were three way races. The majority of voters in her district did not vote for her, but she the the most votes of the three.

I'm embarrassed to be a part of the 6th district in Minnesota but I have never voted for this c**t!

Getting rid of her would send a nice message to Washington.

And to the Tea Party.

Please, Minnesotans, show your intelligence and retire Bachman. Send a message to the rest of your state that you are NOT bigoted, intolerant and living in the past.

[malwoden]

Well some Minnesotans are doing better. The urban district that abuts on hers has the only Muslim, Keith Ellison, in Congress as its representative.

Bachmann may lose?

Excellent, the power of prayer must be working!

If ever there was a person who shouldn't be re elected it's Bachmann...I look forward to being rid of her and her biased vitriol.

And George Will had the audacity to say Alan Grayson was a skeev! At least Grayson's intelligent and spoke the truth. It's also good that it looks like he'll be back in DC this coming year!

Hope so.

Why don't commentaters have term limits? George Will has been a elite snob from the right for soooo long now, and he can't identify with real people. Hope Bachmann isn't gerrymandered in so safe she can't lose. West, King, Bachmann et al; could they all go this time? We can only hope.
