"She is one of the Republican Party’s top rock stars, trailing only former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in national recognition. And Rep. Bachmann is a heavy hitter, too. She has raised more than $10 million in campaign contributions this year, raking in more than $5 million in the most recent quarter. And through MICHELE PAC, she has provided endorsements and campaign contributions to 46 conservative candidates from around the country, including U.S. Senate candidates Christine O’Donnell from Delaware, Rand Paul from Kentucky and Marco Rubio in Florida.

As editors from ECM newspapers that serve the Sixth District converged as an editorial endorsement panel to screen candidates in this election, we had hoped that the incumbent would grant an interview to assist the panel in its deliberation. Repeated attempts in late August and throughout September to schedule an interview were not successful. That was disappointing and the panel had no choice but to move on.
We understand that Rep. Bachmann has been part of the House minority, Still, in the four years that she has served in Congress she has authored only one piece of legislation that became law. Still worse, she has not supported important construction projects in St. Cloud and Stillwater — projects of great value in this district.

To her credit, Clark is no rookie to the legislative process and has been willing to work in a bipartisan arena for the betterment of the state. Sen. Clark’s life experiences in teen counseling, parenting, senior citizen advocacy and work with groups like Habitat for Humanity and the Minnesota Community Action Program give her a solid foundation that will help her succeed in Washington.

She demonstrated deep understanding and knowledge of national and international issues. Raised in a conservative Republican family, she has matured to form a philosophical view that draws on her upbringing and world views today."

1. For people who aren't in the know, ECM publishes many local

community papers and shopper publications. This is great news! This is an important endorsement, especially for Clark's exposure to the older constituents in the 6th.

2. Apparently Michelle the Media Star can't be bothered with these

tiny publications that are only read by people in her district.

I so hope this bites her in the ass.

4. Exactly. These little community papers still have

a robust classified ad section which people still use. Apparently Bachmann is too important to reach out to the community papers that are read by the folks who still buy their cars from a classified ad in the paper.

3. For all the talk about accountability in Washington, do the rubes

truly believe that the Teapublican Party cares about their concerns? If their candidates run from debate with Democrats and hide from thequestions of the Press, why would these rubes think they'll get their calls/complaints answered? They're voting for a Party that can't answer the tough questions and has no idea how to fix the macro-economic issues facing this country. It would be hilarious if the consequences of their stupidity didn't affect us all.
