I mean talk about a lose-lose situation. At a Federal level she is worth a few laughs at her expense and at the State level she can actually affect governance with laughs at our expense. If she really was the Christian Fundamentalist she pretends to be she would be at home birthin' babies and her husband would be in Washington DC... she could still be the First Wife in a clan of fundies.

FREEDOM TO KEEP USING INCANDESCENT LIGHTBULBS and $2 GALLON GAS

Bachmann may have raised some bucks in the 2nd Quarter. But over half that was from the extreme Right PAC supporters of the Republican Party .

EY: Not with the kind of campaign he ran the last time around. He ran as a Bachmann clone on social issues, which is what got people to encourage Wetterling to get into the race in the first place. He's taken social issues off the table by taking positions that contrast with Bachmann's extremism, then focusing on economic issues. The last time, he made a point of noting - during his opening press conference - that he supported the Federal Bachmann amendment. This time, he regularly goes after Bachmann for her extremism. The "tip of the spear" has been unusually silent about the Federal Marriage Amendment - to the point of not even signing on. Why not? Where's the titanium spine? I asked GOP Party Chair Ron Carey about that at the DFL convention. Carey said I'd have to ask Bachmann.

I actually think he is the strongest DFL candidate of the bunch this year. Not the best fundraiser, but the strongest. I'm in the camp who thinks Bachman is very vulnerable. What will she do with her money? Tell her story. That may not help her. I always love that picture that you posted with this article. El is a solid candidate.
