Palin to stump for Bachmann in MN-06

We knew far right-wing GOP Cong. Michele Bachmann was buddies with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- and it definitely looks like the friendship is paying off.

Bachmann's camp announced today that Palin will join her on the campaign trail this April for her MN-06 re-election campaign.

Here's quick note from Bachmann's press release:

"There is absolutely no one more in tune with the hearts and minds of everyday Americans than Governor Palin, and I'm excited to welcome her back to our beautiful state this spring."

Bachmann also noted Democrats' "extreme liberal agenda" in her release and said that "the momentum is clearly at the backs of conservatives" heading into the 2010 elections.

There's no doubt Bachmann is counting on a boost from major GOP names like Palin to keep her seat in Republican hands. But she's in for a challenge: EMILY's List candidate Tarryl Clark has hit the ground running in her campaign to unseat Bachmann, earning endorsements from key labor unions and Democratic leaders in the state.
