Tarryl Clark is thinking of running in the 6^th:

Tarryl has been contacting folks about a run for Congress, and it is believed that, while we do think she was once eyeing the Gov seat, she is now angling for the US House.

Good for Tarryl Clark.  I remain convinced that a DFLer can win this seat so long as they begin a running and, more importantly, raising money early.  We all, of course, remember the massive haul of cash that Elwyn Tinklenberg brought in following some of Bachmann’s loonier comments in 2008, unfortunately, by then it was too late in the campaign for his campaign to make good use of those resources.  If Clark can raise those kind of big dollars early in the cycle and perhaps score a lucky break by keeping an IP candidate from entering the race, she could be well positioned to finally bring an end to Michele Bachmann’s embarrassing political career.
