Was yesterday's Bachmann-Kline fundraiser the consolation prize?

A kind friend sent us the text from a Roll Call article that's behind a subscription firewall:

Nation: Sessions Raises Money for Late Primary Winners By John McArdle and
Josh Kurtz Roll Call Staff June 24, 2008

At the request of party brass, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) is overseeing a major fundraising drive to ensure that Republican House candidates who emerge from seven late primary races will be well-positioned financially for their general election campaigns.

Sessions, who sought the chairmanship of the National Republican Congressional Committee this cycle and is thought to still be interested in one day leading the committee, is working to raise upwards of $150,000 for each of the candidates in three open-seat districts and four potential pick-up districts for Republicans.

The seven nominee funds will benefit the eventual Republican candidates in Arizona's 5th district, Florida's 16th district, Kansas' 2nd district, Louisiana's 4th district, Missouri's 9th district, New Hampshire's 1st district and Wyoming's at-large seat.

All the races have primaries that take place in August or September.

Minnesota's First District isn't on that list, so we're guessing the little get together Michele Bachmann and John Kline held for Brian Davis yesterday was part of the effort for the D-List candidates.
