Bachman's GOP Primary Opponent Enters Race as Write In - Could Split Vote!

Bachmann's Call For Witch Hunt Brings Her GOP Primary Opponent Back Into The Race
Here's some good news for Republican voters in Minnesota's Sixth District. There is absolutely no need for any of you to cast your vote for incumbent Representative Michelle Bachmann, who is an embarrassment to herself and the people of Minnesota, with her awfulness.
Bachmann's recent remarks, that the media should perform a witch hunt to determine which members of Congress are "pro-America or anti-America," have so incensed her primary opponent, Aubrey Immelman, that he has decided to jump into the race as a write in candidate.

3. Kewl! She is going down. And deservedly so.

Goodbye, Michelle. That's one I will be following on election night.

4. I'm not so sure.

what if the D and I votes are split as well, allowing that idiotic, religious nut win again?

7. The Minnesoata Independence Party has endorsed Democrat El Tinklenberg in that race

In '06, the Independence Party ran a candidate who garnered 8% of the vote in MN CD 6. This year, Bachmann's challenger El Tinklenberg has won the endorsement of both the Democratic Party and the Independence Party. So no D/I split this year.

9. Wow, wow, wow

IMHO, we're never going to put this country back on the right path until decent people take back the Republican party. As long as they remain they way they are, they'll regroup and retake control. If they go back to being the party of Nelson Rockefeller, we can work with them for the good of everyone.

If Bachman's sort of crazy crap earns her a big smackdown, the others may learn an important lesson.
