Ad wars: Is Bachmann ‘a lobbyist’s worst nightmare’? Not so much

Rep. Michele Bachmann’s latest campaign tv ad, “Bachmann: A Lobbyist’s Worst Nightmare”, depicts the Republican congresswoman as someone who can’t be bought by lobbyists.

But that hasn’t stopped the 6th District Republican from putting the “for sale” sign outside her office and raking in $843,079 from political action committees through Oct. 15 in this election cycle—at least $182,255 of which came from lobbyists, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
