Bachmanngate

Oh dear.

Rep. Michelle Bachmann, Republican Congresswoman from Minnesota, has dug herself a nice, deep hole.

Here's a video from TPM (Talking Points Memo) giving what I found to be a concise and informative rundown of her major unforced error...



Yesterday, the LA Times had a story about the flood of funds and support rushing to Bachmann's opponent. TPM website subsequently updated the poll numbers for Bachmann's re-election battle. Presently, Tinklenberg (what a name) is slightly up 46% to 43.5%, but the difference is within the margin of error so she could always pull out a win on election day.
