Her opponent was bankrolling the campaign out of petty cash. She was way outspent.
I think that Michelle was rolling in cash, do you have different numbers?
“Michele Bachmann has won a fourth term in Congress despite a serious challenge from Democrat Jim Graves. Bachmann spent nearly $20 million to fight Graves in the nation’s most expensive congressional race.”
“It was the nation’s most expensive House race in terms of both money raised and spent by the candidates as of mid October, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The candidates had raised a total of $22.7 million and spent $20.8, the center reported, but Bachmann had outspent Graves by more than twelve-to-one.”
