Fun Fact About Michelle Bachmann's campaign money, she's raised much less of it this time.
http://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary.php?id=MN06&cycle=2006

2006 $4,247,883 cash raised

2008 $2,176,100 cash raised

That's a pretty big difference, maybe she got more first time out because she was the new thing?

1. Or maybe once you're the republican incumbant, the illegal money is so much easier to come by.

2. Hey, I thought I was the only one with the Coltrane avatar. Anywho...
i'm suprised that's all the money people running for congress tend to raise.

If that's all it costs, I might as well take a swing at it.

4. Reminds me of a joke....
Michelle Bachmann was not getting enough campaign money rolling in, so she decided there was but one thing to do, resort to prostitution. She was gone for the whole night, and when she came back she had 2,176,100.25. He campaign manager looked at her flabbergasted and said, "Who the hell gave you a quarter?"

"All of 'em." She shrugged.
