With every Republican seat in the House a necessity to keep, conservative Michele Bachmann's race representing Minnesota's 6th District is expected to be tight. She is the hard target for Liberals, who love to hate her and have vowed to overwhelm her campaign financially and every other way.
Bachmann is below 50% in the latest poll - not considered a good place for an incumbent, but she saw this scenario in her 2006 and 2008 campaigns. She has pulled it out before, but was not faced with the current animosity.

She’s up considerably head to head, and of really no risk of losing in a year where Democrats are going to have to fight for all but inner city seats.
And your opinion on this is ?
As a new one, you are expected to post your opinion on comment 1 of any thread you post.
Really?
There is no story here, except Michelle is going to kick Clarks political a$$.
and BTW, 5% undecided and 8% are being leeched by other candidates. Even if 90% of the undecideds break for Clark (they wont, based on the above stats) Bachmann still wins.
Yeah, that’s what comment 1 is for. Post a thread, try it.
It’s a Survey USA poll.
Find a reliable poll before you panic.
Who conducted the poll? I kind of find this hard to believe. Is the district a left leaning district? IMHO if it’s a left leaning district and the progressive/marxist party needs to fight this hard to unseat her, they’re in deep doo doo. If it’s a center/right district, this poll is worthless, after all even Pelosi has to be a little nervous this year. Then again, this is a pure outsider opinion.
I have posted over 1,000 political threads. Never felt compelled to make a compulsory comment in the 1st comment box. And, I was never criticized for not doing it.
“As a new one, you are expected to post your opinion on comment 1 of any thread you post.”
Stuff it where the sun doesn’t shine!!
I’ve been here 12 years and I won’t do it!!
Well I would have had I seen it....
:-)
I believe it is a story. She is the target for Liberals and I believe we make a mistake by taking her win for granted.
“but was not faced with the current animosity.”
Horse manure. She was vilified something fierce last time. They haven’t been able to lay a glove on her this time.
Strange. I just saw a thread today that said she was ahead of her opponent by 9 points without even trying. Hmmmmm.
She is going to crush the dingbat libtard
ilgipper, I hope that’s true. I know some very conservative Minnesotans and they are concerned. I’m told it will be a very tight race. I will be delighted and grateful if it’s a breeze for Bachmann.
We can’t afford to lose Bachman....but if we do, she needs to be serving elsewhere such as RNC Chair.
Yes, my article points out the 9 point lead, but as a incumbent she is under 50%.
Yeah, but y’all aren’t new and aren’t pimping a blog.
The screed is her opinion!
Yeah, blog pimpers are no fun... I gotta agree.
‘Strange. I just saw a thread today that said she was ahead of her opponent by 9 points without even trying. Hmmmmm.’
If you go to the source, that is exactly what this poll says.
Michele’s district is the one next to my district. We live in the two most conservative, right-leaning districts in Minnesota. John Kline is my congressman. No way Taryl Clark wins in the west metro.
Michele hasn’t even started running ads. Clark’s running a ton of bash Bachmann ads. They even colorized her teeth in a yellow shade in one of them while lying about her. Yet Bachmann is ahead by 9% in one of the latest polls.
No big deal - if it does happen. Frees her to run for President. She’s even better than Sarah, who is fantastic. Stays cool and logical under duress....
IMHO,
arlis
But nine points ahead of her opponent.
Interesting. I’d say it’s at least 60% Republican here, and they’re polling 60% Democrat and Independent? Way to skew a poll. I’d say they’re whistling past the graveyard.
Yeah. Bachmann won by 8 points in the last election and SUSA had her up by one, the day before. This was without nation recognition, the big $$ and the pure hatred for RATS right now.
Well, you should have.
Their side ain't.
Well, if you don’t have an opinion about what was posted, then don’t post. This is after all, a discussion group.
Well, now you know.
Yeah, but you’re not new and not pimping a blog.
I just read earlier today, Bachmann is up nine points!
WTF?
I always thought Robin Masters was the most interesting incendiary hit-n-run poster. No commentary, no followup.
” This is after all, a discussion group.”
Maybe to you!
More fun to harass jerks like you!
Taking for a moment that being under 50% carries some significance in a local race, I do believe all incumbents will be facing a challenge in an anti-incumbent atmosphere. However, Bachmann is certainly not your typical incumbent in 2010.
Now if the joke teller makes up a fake number, representing no joke, and fails to initiate laughter, then what are all the listeners to do. Some will still laugh, some boo , others just walk away, and some like you will idiotically clap and ask for more.
Thanks for mentioning that.
Three years, and you still call her a noob? Sheeesh.....
Three years on your account, and you protect folks who bash Michelle B. ?
First off, "Michelle B. bashing" was not your complaint. You demanded a comment from the poster at post 1.
Secondly, I didn't see the post as a "bash". A bit paranoid perhaps, but I don't see any malice in simply posting the article.
I don’t demand a comment on post 1, the forum does.
Or at least it used to.
I want no fight with you, Windflier.
And we are idiots for bumping this thread. Let’s stop.
News to me.
Can’t put my finger on it, but “blogspot” in a url is irritating. Sort of like a badge of obscurity and minor league status.
Or at least it used to.
Ok, I didn't know that an established forum courtesy has slipped out. Personally, I think it's good form. I didn't know that anyone else thought so.
Peace, friend. Texans oughtn't to fight each other, I agree.
Thank you, Sir, I respect you.
Live to fight another day together.
