A right-wing celebrity who’s always ready for her close-up

The Tea Party may be over for Cong. Michele Bachmann, now that Tarryl Clark is in the race. Clark, assistant majority leader of the state Senate, is famous for reaching across the aisle to develop true bipartisan solutions. She represents Democrats’ best chance yet at knocking Bachmann out of her seat and off your TV screen.

An experienced candidate who’s walked the walk

Along with her legislative record, attorney Clark brings to the race years of grassroots activism, from helping to found Central Minnesota Habitat for Humanity to developing a teen pregnancy prevention program.

A costly fight against a fundraising triple threat

While Bachmann’s antics are continually outrageous – calling President Obama “Anti-American” and boycotting the 2010 census – her fundraising prowess is dead serious; she’s got the NRA, the Susan B. Anthony List, and, yes, Sarah Palin, raising money for her campaign. Clark will need EMILY’s List’s support to overcome Bachmann’s fundraising advantage.
