Bachmann Raises Record Sum


Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has raised about $5.4 million since July, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

"That's more than any Minnesota congressional candidate has raised in an entire election -- Bachmann took in $3.5 million in 2008. The $5 million boost brings Bachmann's fundraising total this cycle to just about $10 million."

Bachmann's campaign still has more than $3.4 million cash on hand.

3. This is the second such post I've seen this morning.....
I hardly think the candidates are raising such large sums of campaign cash...you can thank the SCOTUS for this and your local Chamber of Commerce. Wonder which forgin countries are buying a Congressman today...? Buy a vote today and reape the benifits tomarrow......

6. I keep saying that the mega church in her district area is
urging people to vote and contribute to her. I can not understand why he is not indicted. At one time he was supposed to be under investigation but nothing never did come of it. He is a crook and uses the money he collects from his media church to buy himself all kinds of goodies. And the stupid people still contribute to him AND BACHMANN. She plays the religious thing with her husband also he has an organization that has religious undertones. And as long as she has the district she has she will never not be elected.

We thought for a while that it would be gone. Minnesota was said to be loosing a representative. But according to the latest census we aren't so her district will stay the way it is. It is a shame they can't straighten out all those crooked butt lines the republicans drew to give her and keep her republican majority. The area of Minneapolis where she reigns supreme is supposed to be wealthy. I guess it is and also just think of all the billionaires in this country that want "Her Craziness" to stay in office.

8. And how much of it is from the Chamber of Commerce or Karl Rove's group?
Edited on Wed Oct-13-10 08:46 AM by rocktivity
How much of it is foreign? How much is from a foreign government? How much is from an ENEMY foreign government? We can pound them into sand with this!
