Five days after Rep. Michele Bachmann went on a McCarthy-esque rant suggesting
Barack Obama was unpatriotic and urging the major newspapers of the country to
investigate anti-American sentiment in Congress, the national Republican
political parties are running for cover.
Two sources aware of ad buys in Minnesota say that the National Republican
Congressional Committee is pulling its media purchases from Bachmann's race. If
true, it is a remarkable fall for a congresswoman who, until recently, seemed
relatively safe in her predominantly conservative district. The race had become
closer in recent days -- the NRCC had transferred funds from Rep. Erik Paulsen
(MN-03) to Bachmann a little over a week ago.
In the days following her appearance on Hardball, however, Bachmann has watched
as her challenger, El Tinklenberg raised more than a million dollars off her
incendiary remarks. That surge in fundraising put Bachmann's re-election in a
far less certain position. Bachmann tried to stem the bleeding by telling the
press she was sorry for her remarks. But with the national party now apparently
pulling the plug, the situation has gone from bad to worse.
