Rep. Michele Bachmann (R) is facing a newly competative race in Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District after stating on Hardball on October 17th that Barack Obama may “may have anti-American views” and calling for a media inquiry into the possible anti-Americanism of members of Congress.  The whimsically named Elwyn Tinklenberg, fresh from a vacation in Never-Never Land, has raised $1.3 Million since Bachmann’s comments, doubling his fundraising intake for the entire campaign prior.  Minnesota’s 6th, while very conservative, is not looking like a very possible Democratic pickup.  The two most recent polls, released on the 22nd and 23rd, show Tinklenberg with a lead of three and two points, respectively.
