Nancy Skinner only raised $420,000 for the entire 2006 race and came within a few points of beating Joe Knollenberg.

"Spokesmen for McCotter and Knollenberg said while they are aware Muslims find the words objectionable, they believe intelligence officials must be free to describe events as they see them."
