DFLer Tarryl Clark comes out swinging in her first chance to debate GOP incumbent Michele Bachmann, charging that the two-term congresswoman has "done nothing" to stem the job losses that both candidates decry. Bachmann foregoes an immediate chance to reply. But counters later that Clark supported the stimulus bill, which Bachmann describes as a failure. The debate in St. Cloud is the first of three this week in the nation's most expensive U.S. House race. Bachmann and Clark share the stage with Independence Party candidate Bob Anderson, who described himself as "citizen Bob" going up against two "machines." Bachmann has raised more than $11 million this election cycle. Clark has brought in more than $4 million. The event is being live streamed on Star Tribune.com through the Uptake.
