MN-06: Bachmann Holds Slim Lead in New Poll

[ccharles000]

Grove Insight for the DCCC (10/10-12, likely voters):

El Tinklenberg (D): 38
Michele Bachmann (R-inc): 42
Undecided: 15
(MoE: ±4.9%)
Interesting numbers. Could there be some truth to them? Well, considering that the NRCC has been canceling buys for GOP "star recruit" Erik Paulsen and shifting them to the 6th District instead, these numbers could very well be close to the truth.

1. Damn, Sir: That Looks Like It Could Be Swung!

3. Are You Surprised or...

disappointed that the Republican has the lead?

6. Surprised Bachman Has So Narrow A Lead, Ma'am, And That She Is Still Under Fifty Percent

Her public comments consist of such lunatic ravings, and she maintains so high a profile, that my casual assumption was that she was in a bullet-proof district. It is a pleasant surprise to see there is at least a fighting chance she may be flooded out by the rising tide of public anger at lunatic rightists found all over our country.

8. Excellent... That Was the Answer I Was Hoping for...

In a sense, I feel the extremism is turning most away from the Republican Party. It is healthy for America to see these people for who they really are or at least, to hear and see what they really think...

4. El Tinklenberg. Now THAT'S a name!

Wow. Go El. Beat that witch. Sending 20 bucks now.

5. Is the Independence Party running someone this time?

They got like 8% of the vote in that district in '06.

[vaberella]

7. Nope...that's why we need guys out there swining them to Tinklenberg.

If Tinklenberg wasn't running Bachmann could win. People need to hear Tinklenberg's name more and remember it come election day. That woman is a racist and should technically be stripped of her role in the House, this is just the normal and democratic way to go about it.

[vaberella]

11. Nope, I believe the ONLY OTHER candidate is Tinklenberg. n/t

12. I hope they lose them both

Paulsen represents a (R) district against a great candidate Ashwin Madia...playing the typical nasty republicans campaign claiming he's not a fit for the district's demographics (he's brown, young and unmarried)...

And we all know about Bachmann by now...

I want to see these MOFOs BURN on Nov 4th.

13. Madia will win

Kerry took the district in '04 and Madia is an outstanding young candidate. Served in Iraq, went to NYU Law. Big things in front of him.
