Michelle Bachmann May Be Getting Back His Money

Michelle Bachmann may be the sixth election district of Minnesota on paper, but it really congressman America, playing on a much bigger stage than the northern suburbs and exurbs of the twin cities. (Did you realize that the star turn at Lincoln Center?)

Just look where it gets its money.

With the help of some new data from the FEC and OpenSecrets, we see that 69 percent of all contributions of $ 200 or more made to her campaign in 2010 came from outside Minnesota - about $ 2,7 million.By States, the most high concentration of donors in Texas, California, Florida and New York. By metro area, the largest donation outside twin cities came from Los Angeles, Dallas, Washington, DC, and Houston.

When donations understand industry, she received the most money from retirees, conservative organizations, securities and investment sector, healthcare and real estate brokers.

And the data does not even begin to account for all the tiny donations that were sent to her from across the country, and that she bragged about during the election campaign against Democrat Tarryl Clark last year.

In general, Bachmann raised $ 13.5 million in 2010 and held a series of 11.6 million - a record amount for members of Congress. It's a lot of money has given her influence in the house and helped raise the profile of Tea Party Forum.

With all that money pouring from across the country, it is not surprising that it plays with the idea of ​​running for office in the White House. She stopped, which is only 6-th district long ago.
