He has $42,000 and counting at 9:45 EST.

Why?

He just crossed the $50,000 mark.

And keep in mind this is just one PAC. Who knows how much his campaign has raised through his website.

Michelle Bachmann just stirred up the hornet's nest.

     Did she do something to cause a sudden backlash against her?

She really is. Like a slightly less over-the-top Ann Coulter.

I would be very interested to know if any of the $42,000 is from inside the district.

It would show that people in the district are angry and not going to vote for  her.

As opposed to people in California who probably were not going to vote for her either way.

It's too bad 45% of this district would vote for for the actual Joe McCarthy or Saddam Hussein (R) over any Democrat since being a Democrat is worse than being than Saddam Hussein (basically like 70% of my city in reverse)

Tinklenberg ended up raising over $438k in the past 24 hours. Damn.

I know this is the most Republican district in MN, but I read that it's only R+5.

     Considering that we're going to lose more seats anyway, I really don't care if Bachmann is one of the casualties. We need fewer crazies like her getting paychecks from the Government.

That is unbelievable. I've been ignoring these O2B appeals on Daily Kos recently, but that is a tremendous amount of coin for Bachmann to move to her opponent because she's decided to be an attack dog this year.

I can't believe this woman got elected in a state like Minnesota. Do her constituents know she's this nutty? I can't believe they do.

I did, but in reality it's only an R+5 district.

Tinklenburg won't win, but he'll appreciate the money.
