bachmannThe Club for Growth likes Rep. Michele Bachmann — at least more than the rest of Minnesota’s Congressional delegation. The anti-tax advocacy group ranks Bachmann 37th on its latest assessment of House members, approving of her votes on 91 percent of the bills it deemed worthy of consideration. The Club for Growth’s rankings consider 22 votes taken by House members in 2008, including on legislation aimed at bailing out the auto and banking industries. (Nay, shockingly, was the correct vote on both.)

Republican Rep. John Kline was the Club for Growth’s second favorite House member from Minnesota. He voted their way 78 percent of the time last year. Not surprisingly, GOP legislators dominate the top spots on the list, with only four Democrats cracking the top 200. Among the group’s favorite Dems: Reps. Tim Walz (209th) and Colin Peterson (211th). Dead last on the list? Reps. Jim Oberstar and Betty McCollum. Along with 107 of their Democratic colleagues, they voted the wrong way (in the Club for Growth’s estimation) on all 22 bills.

On the Senate side, the anti-tax organization wasn’t particularly fond of either of Minnesota’s senators. Based on 20 votes in 2008, the Club for Growth ranked Norm Coleman 44th, while Amy Klobuchar tied for the 84th spot. She voted with the advocacy group just three percent of the time.
