I am still trying to figure out why Bachmann faded. I honestly can’t remember the reason. Maybe it was trivial but for some reason she faded.
I think it was a multitude of things especially a bad campaign.

Don’t you remember what she did to Perry during that debate? She shocked and scared the nice republicans so much, that they recoiled in terror from the woman.
I don't think Bachmann's support was ever that deep. She won a straw vote in Iowa which meant little but got big play in the media.
Perry's entrance sucked away what oxygen she had and she clinched it by going almost berserk over HPV vaccines: they cause mental retardation. By the time Perry imploded, she was forgotten and everyone moved on to Cain.
