Michele Bachmann Disses the Strib

The Strib and Pioneer Press failed to send reporters to cover Michele Bachmann's endorsing convention last weekend. I bet they wish they had now that the convention got coverage in Worldnet Daily. The author of the article was fired KNSI Radio Host and Michele Bachmann groupie, Andy Barnett. Bob Von Sternberg from the Strib writes about the ROMPin fund that's targeting Michele Bachmann for funding:

Boehner said last week that the GOP would gain ground in this year's elections, citing the drawn-out race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

"The longer this goes on, the more disappointed voters there will be," Boehner said at a lunch sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. "Frankly, that's one cause for my optimism."

John Wodele, a spokesman for DFL candidate Elwyn Tinklenberg, said the cash infusion "confirms the fact that Republicans are worried about the Sixth District -- as they should be."

Referring to Bachmann's financial help, Bob Olson, the other DFL candidate, said, "that's fine. We like all the attention ... The more attention she gets nationally, the better."

A spokeswoman for Bachmann did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I don't know why they don't respond, since Kevin Diaz over there basically just parrots her press releases. Maybe it's because this reporter seems to do more due diligence and is getting responses from both the Tinklenberg and Olson campaigns.

Congressional Quarterly covered this earlier this week. Dump Bachmann and Larry Schumacher from the St Cloud Times covered this yesterday.
