A new Survey USA poll has Michelle Bachman (R, MN-06) trailing Elwin Tinklenberg (47-44):
The contest is volatile; these numbers freeze-frame a pendulum that may not have yet have swung its full arc. All interviews were conducted after Bachmann made comments on MNSBC that drew national attention. During the field period for this survey, the National Republican Congressional Committee suspended its advertising in the District and the Democratic candidate raised $1 million. The full impact of those events would not yet be reflected in these poll results. Bachmann was elected to her first term in 2006 with 50% of the vote and an 8 point margin of victory, in a race SurveyUSA polled for KSTP-TV. The district, which George W. Bush carried with 57% of the vote in 2004, had been rated "likely Republican" by the Cook Political Report; Cook now ranks it as a toss-up.
She is soooo Cheney’d.

WoW! And that means El has the campaign money edge to get his face and message out there. And the fact the the RNC has “repudiated” her has got to help as well.
Thanks Jane.

Ms. Bachman. Have you no decency, ma’am? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?
Oh but I thought she said she didn’t say those things!
