Bachmann Mobbed by Press after Debate There was no mystery as to who the media star was after two Minnesota Public Radio hosted congressional debates. In a chaotic scene, reporters crowded around 6th District Republican incumbent Rep. Michele Bachmann after her debate with DFL challenger Elwyn Tinklenberg. One Bachmann supporter proudly yelled to the press "she is a pitbull in lipstick!" Inside the lobby of MPR, a much more subdued scene had Tinklenberg taking questions from a gaggle if reporters for over ten minutes. By the time 2nd District Republican incumbent Rep. John Kline finished his debate with DFL challenger Steve Sarvi, most of the press had vanished. When approached by The UpTake, Rep. Kline refused to take questions. Oct 30, 2008 11:22 PM

Unmoderated Tag: Television Rating: No Votes Hits: 34 Comments: 0 Lip Service or Real Help for Homeless Vets? Lip Service or Real Help for Homeless Vets? More at http://www.theuptake.org. The system that cares for America's Veterans is strained and breaking. There's been an increase in the number of homeless veterans following the Desert Storm and Iraq wars. Normally homeless people are helped by State and County governments, but veterans are supposed to be helped by the Federal government through the Veterans Administration. Over the last several budgets, the VA has been under funded. More than one-half of the VA facilities do not offer counseling for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). A large majority of facilities that do offer PTSD counseling can't handle the caseload, which is unfortunate since many suicides among veterans have been attributed to untreated PTSD. Against that backdrop, advocacy groups are meeting with politicians from both parties at the RNC and the DNC. In this video The UpTake's Noah Kunin reports that Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons came to the vets events, but refused to talk about what he is doing on veterans issues. Gibbons has been given low marks by many veterans advocacy groups. Sep 3, 2008 6:16 PM

Citizens for McCain, a group of former Hillary Clinton supporters who now back John McCain, gave a press conference at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, MN.

One such supporter, Jennifer Lee of California, had an interesting moment when asked why she now supported McCain. Sep 3, 2008 1:17 PM
