I'll bet that apart from Osama the Rats’ main goals are defeat Bachmann in MN and Brown in MA.

If they don’t get her this time, they’ll gerrymander her district to contain as many Eric Holder’s people as possible.

I live in the Muslim’s district but have always donated to Michele even though she does not appear to need my help (raised $4-million in September). Her reelection is imperative. Graves is disgustingly smarmy, but he is learning that nobody campaigns harder than Michele.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Graves owns an “expansive” hotel chain. What is that?

The Star Tribune is behind times. The 6th District no longer includes Woodbury, or Lake Elmo, or other Eastern metro suburbs. Redistricting forced Michele's own home outside of the district.
In 2001 my home was pushed out of the 6th District into the 4th (Betty McCollum), and I eventually moved to get back into it. But in 2011 I was again pushed into the 4th. I can't win. :-)

I know he owns Graves 101 in downtown Minneapolis, a very expensive hotel.

Political representation is a good thing to question a realtor about. If they feel like they’re losing business due to democrats, they’ll also begin to apply pressure to keep republicans in control.

Gerrymandering has already been completed for the next ten years. Bachmann’s residence was gerrymandered out of her district.

Actually, Republican legislature, both houses. Bachmann has, IIRC, the "reddest" district in the state. Those numbers are pretty close to McCain's results in 2008 in that district. She won 52-40-8 in 2010 in the "old" district in a 3-way race.

"Any updates/polls on Craavack"
Last I heard even.
To: ken5050
There’s a SurveyUSA poll from about a week-and-a-half ago that has it Nolan 46, Cravaack 45. It’s tight. There’s a lot of SuperPAC money coming in from out of state for Cravaack, though.

Bachmann runs hard... Regrettably, she has to run hard because it appears that the National Republican Committee and the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee have turned their backs on helping her campaign financially. That's supposedly because she and a few other congressional Republicans exposed some of the influence of Islamist extremists in the Obama Administration.
Good to see her leading in her tough race.
