Michelle Bachmann vs. Jim Graves: Redux

Generally speaking, I don't write too much about my local politics on the blog.  This story, however, made national news and one of the people involved was a 2012 candidate for President.  Anyway, read on.

Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann spent more money than any other House candidate in the 2012 elections.  She outspent her opponent 12-1.  In the end, she won her seat, but only by 1% of the vote.  Now, a series of ethics complaints surrounding her failed Presidential bid is further tarnishing her image, and her approval rating has dropped below 50% in her district.  All this has convinced her 2012 opponent, business man and hotelier Jim Graves, to run again.

Sabrina Siddiqui at the Huffington Post wrote a great article about the situation.  You can read it by clicking on the link below.
