Bloomington, Minn. — Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann's comment that Barack Obama "may have anti-American views" reflects poorly on Bachmann.

National Democrats are planning to spend $1 million trying to defeat Bachmann. A spokeswoman says the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will start airing TV ads on Tuesday.

6. Even with what he got this weekend, Tinklenberg is way underfunded
compared to Bachmann. Theirs is a traditionally red district and she had a decent lead going into her spot on Hardball on Friday. I want Bachmann to be made an example of.

7. True. But I take comfort in knowing...
...that any money the GOP sends to help defend Bachmann is money drawn away from other GOP candidates.

2. What a difference a day makes!
Once the world got a load of this wingnut, the money poured in for her opponent. Her seat was considered safe until she went on Tweety.
