National Democrats, buoyed by an internal poll last week that showed Bachmann leading Tinklenberg by a narrow margin of 42 percent to 38 percent, are pouncing and are set to begin $1 million worth of television advertising in the district tomorrow.
Bachmann, elected in 2006, should have had little trouble holding this suburban Twin Cities district, which President George W. Bush carried in 2004 with 57 percent. But she has been a lightning rod for controversy throughout her first two years in office and is now in the fight of her political life.
Could "anti-American" be the new "Twinkle, Twinkle Kenneth Starr"?
1 DAY: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton travels to the Twin Cities to campaign with comedian Al Franken (D) in his race against Sen. Norm Coleman (R). "Hillary Clinton is a fighter for the middle class, a champion for change, and a friend and hero of mine," said Franken. Left unsaid: He's good enough, he's smart enough, and doggone it, people like him.
