I am surprised that anyone would be surprised that she would be leading Iowa at this point with the current field.

Especially with Romney apparently ceding Iowa without a fight.

There was a Bachmann fluff piece posted a couple of days ago that showed Bachmann’s fund raising catching up with the Mittster. Problem was that Romney miss his targets by a wide margin. Small contributions have always been Mrs. Bachmann’s life blood. They either aren't coming in or they are not significant enough to carry her along. She (the anti-establishment candidate) recently hired two very establishment fund raisers to try and get big money donors to turn loose cash. Good luck with that. The big money will stay on the sideline waiting for more viable candidates.
