Bachmann on ANWR
GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann just said that ANWR is "The most wonderful place in the world to drill." Bachmann, GOP Rep. John Kline, GOP Sen. Norm Coleman and GOP candidate Brian Davis addressed the crowd. First Lady Mary Pawlenty is the "MC" of the event. Her husband, Gov. Tim Pawlenty, is not attending because he's in northern Minnesota for the groundbreaking of a steel plant. A campaign spokesman for Pawlenty, who was considered as a possible running mate for John McCain, said Pawlenty's absence from the McCain event should not be considered as a slight and that he strongly backs McCain for president.
