With facts you have begun to dispel the myth that IP candidates just get republicans elected. This is a worn DFL whine who never seem to look internally but place blame externally for their loses. Thank you, Eric.

Other than making Minnesota look foolish, every time Bachmann opens her mouth, Democrats open their wallets and middle-of-the-road folks turn to the left. It would be a problem if the 6th district elected a Republican who was not a head case, since they wouldn't produce money for Democrats. Bang on, Michelle, bang on. Just think, with every appearance on tv you generate tens of thousands of dollars for liberal causes. And we say, thank you. Bachmann is great for Democratic fundraising.

Bob Anderson was a right-of-center IP candidate (e.g. favoring deploying National Guard troops to guard the southern border), and not a "Peter Hutchinson type." Plus, In the last SurveyUSA poll conducted just a few days before the election, Anderson was splitting the partisans almost exactly down the middle - 5% of Democrats and 6% of Republicans supported him.
