AP calls it for Bachmann

Oh, well - we'll get her next time.
She outspent her opponent 12-1 and only barely eked out a win. She's through as a force and rising star in the GOP.
West and Walsh are gone, and that's a great start.
Besides, we need at least one truly crazy voice in there to make the rest of the GOP look insane by association. Bachmann always delivers in that sense.

The one dark spot in the election. She had to spent more than $135 for every vote she got.

...and Muslim Keith Ellison wins by 50 points. How will the Christian right spin that?
