Crazily, though, ten-term GOP Rep. Spencer Bachus is also airing ads in advance of his primary in AL-06, some $70K worth. Bachus has spent an amazing $680K on his campaign so far, even though his challenger, teabagger Stan Cooke, has raised just $29K total. This is the reddest district in the nation according to Cook PVI (R+29), which may explain Bachus’s anxiety, since he is the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee and voted in favor of the bailout.

IN-05: Oh crap, Dem nominee is a teabagger
OK, who goofed? Dave Weigel reports that Tim Crawford, the guy who won the Democratic primary earlier this month in IN-05, is a certifiable teabagger who seems to hate everything about Democrats and Obama.
Just look at what he’s written on his Facebook page.
So… anti-health care reform, thinks we’re all socialists, and a Tenther to boot!
How’d Indiana Democrats let this happen? Nonpartisan had me convinced Nasser Hanna, an actual Democrat, would be the Democratic nominee. Instead… we got Crawford, who handily won the primary, 61%-39%.
Ugh.
