Betsy Who? Michelle Bachmann SMASHES Fundraising Record

  • 10 Comments
  • by: Papa Smurf

With all the Pols-created hoopla over Betsy Markey’s supposedly remarkable haul of $800,000 in the most recent fundraising quarter.  I bring you word of a truly amazing feat.  Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) has smashed existing records for money raised in a quarter ($5.4 million) and most raised overall (over $10 million) for a Congressional race.

From the Star Tribune:

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, already a presence on the national stage, stunned the political world with news that she has raised $10 million for her reelection bid — more than any other House candidate in the country has ever collected.

[snip]

In congressional fundraising circles, Bachmann’s haul represents uncharted waters.

Records provided by federal election officials show that no congressional candidate has ever raised $10 million, though many candidates have not yet reported their totals for this quarter.

  1. If you are willing to sacrifice all logic and reason and completely whore yourself out to the Tea Party driven Conservative media…you can raise $5 million.

    But you know you sacrifice all credibility in the process.

    And Michelle Bachmann raising $5 million does not take away from Betsy’s incredible haul.

  2. I like the abbreviation of this title that shows up on the side. Clever if it was deliberate. It makes me imagine her kind of like the She-Hulk.

    I think one reason nobody gives a fuck about this story here is that Michelle Bachmann couldn’t find Colorado on a map, while Betsy Markey is actually a Representative from Colorado. (That’s why many people here know her last name.)
