Election 2012

Iowa Loves Michele Bachmann

Bachmann evidently stole the show at a Republican event in Iowa over the weekend, which also featured circus clown Newt Gingrich, John Bolton and some other guy I've never heard of.

Michele Bachmann served up red meat to the crowd at the Iowa conservative principles conference Saturday, slamming President Barack Obama as a Jimmy Carter retread, dissing the Mitch Daniels "truce" call for social issues, and saying she wants a "waiver" from the last two years of White House leadership.

That clinches it. We may or may not get Sarah Palin, but Bachmann is definitely running. Fun and funny!

I wonder if the Republicans realize their field for 2012 is made up of cantina aliens from Star Wars.
