More strangeness at the Kos/Tinklenberg makes it official

Every so often I check the Google news search for Michele Bachmann stories. I did so just now, and one of the links that came up is this one:

What Tinklenberg Isn't Telling You, & Why He Doesn't Deserve ...
Daily Kos - ‎5 hours ago‎
Right now, Bachmann - despite her insane statements - holds the advantage. That's because the anti-Bachmann vote is split between the Democrats and the ...


And that's all that appears, but it's a link to the entire diary on the Kos. The funny thing is, when I press on that link and go to the Kos site...the Kos site tells me that it can find this post--which Google says went up today, about five hours ago. (There is no Internet "cache" version of the post to access.) The tags to the post appear. I did a search of these and can't find the writer's story that way, either.

It looks like some Kos diarist is trying to explain the weird political dynamics in the Sixth. I don't know who it is, but I'd love to read what they have to say to the community that raised so much money for a "dump Bachmann" effort, last time around. The "post that the Kos can't seem to find" also seems to have 146 reader comments attached to it. That indicates a significant degree of interest in this post; I hope the Kos can find it soon. I'll keep looking.

In other news: The Star Tribune reports that Tinklenberg made his candidacy official today. Strib reporter Bob von Sternberg informs readers:

Bachmann, who routinely attracts media attention for her conservative pronouncements, became one of the Democrats' prime targets in 2008, but even a late influx of contributions for Tinklenberg weren't enough to beat her.


"Conservative pronouncements?" If all she did was make "conservative pronouncements" she wouldn't attract any kind of "media attention." Von Sternberg should have written "wacky lies," those are the Bachmann pronouncements that have been attracting media attention.
