I don’t think Bachmann has officially declared either. Rollins was out the morning after the debate saying Bachmann would declare in Waterloo, Iowa just like she earlier said she would. Maybe we all need to look at that debate transcript to see what was actually said by Congressman Bachmann.
She’s filed her paperwork with the FEC. She’s officially in.
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota began a campaign for the 2012 Republican Party nomination for president of the United States in June 2011. Bachmann filed her organization with the Federal Elections Commission as an official campaign, skipping the exploratory committee process, and announced she was officially running for president during the CNN Republican primary debate held June 13, 2011.[1]
