Former
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will be at the Minneapolis Convention Center today to
campaign for U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann.
University of Minnesota political science
professor Kathryn Pearson says while Palin's appearance may help Bachmann raise
money for her upcoming reelection campaign, it won't give her what she needs
most to hang on to her congressional seat, which are votes.
The
dimwitted duo will appear later at a $500-a-plate dinner fundraiser in
Minneapolis. People who donate $10,000 get to take a picture with the two.
Minnesota Democrats boast sizable majorities in the State Legislature and
hope to land the governor’s office this fall to cement an advantage in
redrawing Minnesota political maps. Bachmann’s district, a mix of suburbs,
rural areas and the central Minnesota city of St. Cloud, is a tempting target
for Democrats if Minnesota loses one of its eight US House seats.
