Make your Hell to Pay nominations here!

Hell to Pay bug Last week's Hell to Pay was a barn burner, raising almost $29,000 for Tammy Baldwin in the Wisconsin Senate race in response to the deplorable gay-baiting from her opponent's, Tommy Thompson's, campaign.

That's how it works. We find the worst action by an opponent or outside group against one of our Orange to Blue, Daily Kos endorsed candidates, and we make them pay. And you get to decide who benefits, by nominating candidates off of our Orange to Blue list in comments here. Then tomorrow evening, we'll vote on which candidate should "win" the week by having the worst opponent in the world. The fundraising vengeance happens Saturday night.

But, this week, I have a feeling that this one is going to be hard to beat. This is an ad from The National Republican Trust PAC against Jim Graves, who is trying to bring Minnesota's 6th District back to sanity by defeating Rep. Michele Bachmann. You know her, right? Right. Here's one group that is wholly opposed to sanity, running this ad about, you guessed it, the Muslim Brotherhood.

Bachmann said that that Muslim Brotherhood had infiltrated the federal government, infiltrated the State Department through an aide to Hillary Clinton. She's said that her colleague in her state's delegation, Rep. Keith Ellison, has ties to the organization. As Jim Graves said, that's both "outrageous" and "ridiculous." The NRT PAC says that that means "Jim Graves defends Muslim Brotherhood."

So, what have you seen out there against one of these candidates that can beat this one? Nominate away in the comments.

Note: Because Tammy Baldwin was last week's featured candidate, she's ineligible this week. And, remember, only Orange to Blue candidates are eligible.
