Congressional incumbents have big fundraising leads
The AP reports two Minnesota Republicans--Michelle Bachman and John Kline-- have a ton of money in the bank compared to their DFL opponents.
Bachmann has more than $1 million cash on hand. The DFLers who hope to run against her in the 6th District have much less. El Tinklenberg reported having $102,000 and Bob Olson had $112,000. Olson lend his campaign more than $60,000.
Kline has more than $500,000 on hand, compared with $39,000 for DFLer Steve Sarvi.
Just think how many campaign mailings all that money can buy.
