(4,572 posts)While St. Cloud in the northwest corner of the 6th is relatively moderate, the northern crybaby suburbs (apologies to those DUers who live there) of the Twin Cities are the base of Michelle's support. They complain about taxes, then complain that their emergency services aren't up to par, then complain about all the "undesirables" that are moving north (non-white people) and they sycophantically vote for whomever is in the (R) column on the ballot because the DFL (Democrat-Farmer-Labor party) is a bunch of communists.

That's Anoka. That's Stillwater. And that's why Bachmann wins elections. The people up there believe her, too. They'll eat this up.
