The Minnesota Madwoman wins again

[marmar]

MINNEAPOLIS - Minnesota Republican and tea party favorite Michele Bachmann has beaten Democrat Tarryl (TEHR'-uhl) Clark in the nation's most expensive U.S. House race.

Bachmann wins a third term after raising more than $11 million and spending at least $8.8 million.

Her prodigious fundraising paid for months of negative TV ads painting Clark as a tax-and-spender.
