Minn. Dems endorse Clark to take on GOP's Bachmann

[ccharles000]

BLAINE, Minn. - Democrats in Minnesota's 6th Congressional District put their chips on state Sen. Tarryl Clark on Saturday, betting that a rising state lawmaker will have what it takes to beat conservative icon Michelle Bachmann.

Clark won the party endorsement at a union hall in Blaine, easily besting Dr. Maureen Reed, a former Independence Party candidate for lieutenant governor. Clark and Reed will face each other again in an August primary.

"We want to send Michele Bachmann to the career which she seems to be destined for — a career on Fox News," Clark told convention attendees.

Democrats face a tough slog against Bachmann, a star of conservative protests in Washington and frequent guest on TV talk shows. The 6th District is Minnesota's most conservative, wrapping around the northern half of the Twin Cities and stretching west past St. Cloud. Bachmann, a Republican seeking a third term, has bedeviled 6th District Democrats since she first ran and won in 2006.
