Tarryl Clark Beats Michele Bachmann in Contributions from Sitting Politicians

Eric Ostermeier has the analysis.

Clark is besting the Republican incumbent by a huge margin in one regard: financial support from the state's political leaders.

A Smart Politics analysis of FEC data compiled through July 21st finds that Clark has received nearly $17,000 in itemized individual contributions from more than 20 current and former Minnesota officeholders and candidates, while Bachmann has received just $35 from only two.

State Senator Clark's financial backers include some very prominent names in Gopher State politics.


Why won't Republican political leaders donate to Michele Bachmann? Does that say what they think of Bachmann?
