My predication that Michele Bachmann would win the Sixth District race by ten points is sounding better and better as we go:
Today, it’s Bachman 49%, DFL State Senator Tarryl Clark 40%. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released 2 months ago, little has changed: each candidate is up 1 point.
If my theory is correct – if none of the polls’ likely voter models properly account for Republican turnout and enthusiasm – then ten might be conservative. But I’m not going to get irrationally exuberant.
I say it is time for Conservatives to redirect their giving to closer races. Like the 8th. Or more importantly, to Emmer.
The next time I meet a liberal from Minnesota, I will say:”Minnesota! I’ve heard of Minnesota! That’s where Michelle Bachmann is from!”
Smokey, if you’re lucky the liberal will do a Behar and stomp off in a huff. If you’re unlucky you might want to have a barf bag on hand you can offer them, or some towelettes to clean off your shoes.
