Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is limping toward Tuesday’s Iowa presidential caucuses.
She’s losing staff. She’s faced calls for her to abandon her bid. And she has no money.
Yet, the Minnesota congresswoman, at the back of the pack in polls, is vowing to soldier on, even if that means her candidacy will split the vote of pivotal conservatives in Iowa and allow for victories by a candidate who isn’t seen as adhering as strongly to GOP orthodoxy — like Mitt Romney or Ron Paul.
“Nobody’s working harder,” Bachmann says, declaring her campaign “strong” and suggesting that sheer hustle will carry her to victory.
Regarded as a tea party heroine, the only woman in the Republican race has struggled to revive her campaign since her standing dropped shortly after she won a statewide test vote in Iowa. That turned out to be the high point of her campaign.

Even Bachmann’s top adviser quit and stated he was voting for Ron Paul……GO RON PAUL !!!!
Ron Paul has been bleeding voters to Michele Bachmann since the last debate which is why they offered $30,000 to Kent Sorenson to switch campaigns. Iowa is a ground game and has never been accurately portrayed in the polling numbers. Iowa is also a caucus not a primary and this chicanery is apt to bite Ron on caucus day. Character actually matters to them. Kent just destroyed his own political future with a single knife stab…senslessly pointless. This election has brought out the worst in many otherwise decent people who will have to live with their compromising decisions when the smoke clears.
As for me, Michele has been the obvious choice from the beginning and has a very good chance at the nomination despite all the ankle-biters predicting her demise. She is keeping her dignity through all of this and is proving to be as unshakable as Margaret Thatcher was. This is what leadership looks like.
You must have proof voters are going to her…..not. I don’t have anything against her, but if your contention is that her advisor left because he got paid from Paul and Paul paid him to come over because she was a threat to Paul’s campaign, then why is it her other advisor left too??? I praise her for fighting a good fight, but fact is Paul is on a roll and steaming ahead. People want a REAL president, not a crook or an illegal himself. One that obeys the laws and of our constitution… not trashes it. It’s time to clean up the toilet of politicians that don’t have backbone to bring criminals like Obummer and his cronies to justice because they are too busy lining their own pockets. Ron Paul of course has my vote and unlike you I didn’t receive any payments for my statement.
