Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) will not close out her reelection bid empty-handed. The high-profile congresswoman will report raising a staggering $5.4 million during the last quarter, according to NBC affiliate KARE.

The Star Tribune calls the total "unprecedented," noting that the three-month haul is greater than any Minnesota congressional hopeful has ever raised in an entire election cycle. The total vastly exceeds the $3.5 million she took in while running for reelection in 2008.

4. Follow the money...back to the donors...all 10 of them, if it's that many.

Sounds like Bachmann is benefiting from the POTUS Citizens United decision.

8. The worst congresswoman money could buy

But she'll do the bidding of those who donated the money, and she'll get
plenty more of it where that came from when she does. She cares about the
people of her district about as much as a humpback whale cares about the
plankton it eats--eaten, shit out, and forgotten.
