And why should you care?? 'Cause: 1) she's a republican 2) she might be our next president. So be afraid. Be very, very afraid. Potential Republican Presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann got a little bit closer to being the official Republican frontrunner for the presidency. Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll of Republicans today edging out Ron Paul & other Republican hopefuls in the first big unofficial test of the 2012 presidential campaign. The straw poll is Iowa's nonbinding mock election, traditionally held as an early indicator of organizational strength in the same state that holds the first 2012 nominating contest. Bachmann, a Minnesota representative managed to accumulate 4,823 not real votes. Taking fake 2nd & 3rd place was Ron Paul with 4,671 fake votes & Tim Pawlenty with 2,293. Texas Govenor Rick Perry was in South Carolina and had some scathing remarks about the current administration (what else is new) saying, "We cannot afford four more years of this rudderless leadership." Some other republican hopefuls pandered to the make believe voters trying to get them to pay attention to whatever they were talking about or claimed to be a proponent of. So ladies & gentlemen it has begun. let's all get ready for some good hand kissing & baby shaking.
