WOODBURY, Minn. (AP) -

Motherhood is hard to miss in Minnesota's most competitive House race. Democrat Patty Wetterling, whose son disappeared 17 years ago, has grabbed the national spotlight in the fallout from the Mark Foley scandal. She immediately launched a hard-hitting television ad that argued Republicans "knowingly ignored the welfare of children to protect their own power."

On Saturday, she will deliver the Democratic response to President Bush's radio address, focusing on protecting children, including Internet safety.

Wetterling's Republican rival, state Sen. Michele Bachmann, helped raise almost two dozen foster children along with her own. She has condemned the actions of Foley, the former GOP lawmaker who resigned in disgrace after reports of sexually explicit messages to teenage male pages.
