As much as I wish this was true, we cannot look past the fact that she is leading in the Democrat's internal poll here. So I highly doubt its this close, she is proly ahead more like +5 or +6.

Meh, not going to get my hopes up...though her national campaign probably did show just how crazy she was to some voters who normally blindly straight ticket vote R and don't pay attention to anything (quite common in that district.)

Well we'll see if Bachmann's campaign has an internal poll of their own to cast doubt on this.

It's deserved when the title is so misleading (internal polls should be specified right off the bat).

Fixed. I don't generally post polls here and so I didn't notice how that was emphasized in the thread titles. Regardless, I did bold the word 'internal polling' in the first paragraph of the initial thread. It's not as if I don't realize how that impacts perception, I guess I just assumed that people actually read these things.

I fully expect this to be a single digit race in November, however Bachmann is just too difficult to unlodge. Likely R.

I think the attacks on Weiner's wife came off as deranged even to many Republicans.

Why does Bachmann still win primaries?

I wish, but unfortunately her seat is fool's gold. Just enough people in that district blindly vote Republican, and with the Republican party being the way it is now, there's no way she's going to lose the Republican primary.

Because the Tea Party demands extremism on every issue, and she gives it to them.

Bachmann's response is really weak, probably means the numbers are close.

"Camp Bachmann remains unimpressed. “Of course, Jim Graves can spend as much money as he wants to get the poll numbers he wants,” said campaign spokesman Chase Kroll. “The one thing that he can’t buy is the support of the people of the Sixth District.”
 
If Bachmann’s people have taken their own polls, Kroll declined to say what the results were."

This is accurate.



Also, a Petition.
No thread is complete without an unwarranted snide comment from Phil or px.
It has come to my attention that there are a few archived threads lacking such comments. I insist they be added ASAP.

Michele Bachmann has never run away with her elections, and this year won't be any different. She's far too polarizing. But at the same time, this district is far too polarized in favor of hardcore evangelicals that she really can't ever drop below 50%.

Michelle Bachmann also has like 20 times the Cash on Hand of her opponent. No way she really loses this.

2006 and 2008 have both showed this district is fool's gold for the Democrats, plus Bachmann has a very large $ advantage...high single digits is probably the 'right' answer.

Or krazen.

Re: the polls--this is fool's gold for Dems. If Bachmann didn't go down in 06 or 08, she's not going down this year.

Big difference this time compared to 2006 and 2008.  Look at all the negative publicity she's received this year, not to mention she looks like a nutjob to the average American out there.  True, only those in her district can keep her/boot her, but the democrats have ammo this year and I also expect Obama to win MN by a slightly larger margin this time than he did in 2008, which could indirectly hurt her shot.
