Bachmann would not enter the room until the lights had been changed (What's that all about?)
Blackhawk County Republicans Event | Sunday August 14, 2011

Posted on 08/14/2011 8:52:08 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

Rep. Michele Bachmann, Governor Rick Perry and former Senator Rick Santorum met in Waterloo, Iowa this evening to speak to the Blackhawk County Republicans. Santorum spoke first then Rick Perry spoke and after that Bachmann spoke last, but before that this strange event happened:

Chuck Todd NBC: Bachmann would not enter the building until they had confirmation from staffers INSIDE that the lights had been changed. Overheard a Bachmann staffer supervising the light change say: "We're a go"

Peter Hamby CNN: Lights were dimmed for Bachmann when she took the stage

HotAir Ed Morrissey: Wrap-up from Waterloo: Perry embraced, Bachmann falls a little flat

The lighting had to be changed before Bachmann spoke, apparently at the campaign’s insistence, which delayed her entrance and interfered with the timing of her entrance announcement. But more puzzlingly, Bachmann didn’t arrive to mix with the crowd before the event started, waiting until she was scheduled to speak to enter the Electric Ballroom.

On her bus en route to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave to tell The Imam to start packing his “shiite” to get out of Our house.

I’m just starting to focus on the candidates...but I must say that there is a little bit of a Reaganesque quality to Bachmann. She’s a tough cookie, too.

Just another case of the establishment media working for their guy. They are scared of Bachmann and as she gains momentum the attacks will get worse.

None of this stuff about Michele Bachmann is relevant in the least bit.

Is it a coincidence that all this silly bashing increased as it became clear that Rick Perry was going to run? I can’t stand those tactics. I have been going up against The Left for a long time, and the Rick Perry supporters act exactly the same.

Remember how they mocked her for looking slightly off camera?

Now they attack her team for wanting everything set up right.

Or it could be simple precaution. She may not have had one for years, but with something as important as a campaign, she wants to be at the top of her game and eliminate risks.

Strategic foresight.

They were federally mandated Mercury Vapor filled bulbs.

She opposes their use.

All i did was asks question that’s puzzling, it was sitting right in the middle of the article and I’m wondering that that STICKS OUT

I’m puzzled by all this vitriol towards Michele Bachmann.

What vitriol? I haven't see any on this thread.

Aborted mercury vapor filled bulbs is a bigger issue than aborted kids.

I get the same things and unfortunately, I can’t find the right words and slur a little after an aura. Hopefully she doesn’t get one during a speech or the youtube will be everywhere. ;0(

Obama never enters any rooms that have Border Patrol agents in them.

My guess is you are more on target, but people are going to assume it is the migraines.

Imitrex at the first sign of a Migraine works for me.
