Elwyn Tinklenberg raised $1.5 million in past week.

As much as he raised in the previous year.

Two polls since the Michele-Bachmann-controversy each show him with a slight lead, within the margin-of-error.

Above reported on local Minnesota TV news tonight.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) created a controversy by telling Chris Matthews last Friday that members of Congress should be investigated by the media to determine which are pro-America and which are anti-America.

4. He seems like a very nice guy and good luck to him

but Good Lord! What a name. What were his parents thinking? If I had a last name like Tinklenburg, I think I'd name my kid something really plain, like Dave or Steve.

OTOH, it is memorable.
