Bachmann Fundraising Drive Bombs

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) failed to meet her goal of raising $240,000 yesterday through a hastily announced “Money Bomb.”

The conservative favorite who may decide to run for the GOP presidential nomination under the Tea Party brand, emailed supporters yesterday morning, asking them to help “Make Obama A One-Term President.”

“With almost 14 million Americans unemployed, oil prices at an all-time high, and a national debt over $14.3 trillion, America cannot afford another four years of an Obama White House,” she wrote.

However, at the time this was published, Bachmann had raised just slightly more than $166,065. Conversely, Mitt Romney was able to generate over $10 million during a similar one-day event earlier this month.
