Today, Bachmann's campaign is paying for a promoted tweet linked to a new ad alleging that Graves is a "D.C. robot that won't work for us."

Here's a transcript of the ad, followed by the footage:

Narrator: Why are the big spenders in Washington supporting Jim Graves? Because he's programmed just like they are. Graves supports Obamacare, the failed trillion-dollar stimulus, and the $700 billion Wall Street bailout -- just like all the other big spenders. [Cue images of Nancy Pelosi and Obama]

If we put Big Spendin' Jim Graves in Congress, he'll just keep listening to Washington's liberal leaders, following their commands. Big Spendin' Jim Graves -- another D.C. robot that won't work for us.

Michele Bachmann: I'm Michele Bachmann and I approve this message.

Graves, for his part, insists he's a flesh-and-blood job creator:

Flesh and blood, hardworking, job creator over here! Can't wait to work hard for the 6th! RT @teambachmann: Is @graves4congress a robot?
