For Bachmann, Trouble at Home

摘要

She's fresh off a presidential run and the reigning queen of Congress's Tea Party caucus, but Representative Michele Bachmann is no lock for re-election. The well-funded firebrand is nearly tied with novice Democratic challenger Jim Graves in Minnesota's newly redrawn 6th District; a recent Democratic poll found Graves winning independents by 15 points. Upshot: for the first time in three terms, Bachmann's seat isn't safe.
