Bachmann isn't raising any money and neither are the other guys except for Romney. All the big money donors and fundraisers other than the money that supports Mitt is waiting on the sidelines for Perry and Palin. They have been told to keep their powder dry for these candidates and I am sure it is frustrating for the guys already in to keep knocking on money doors that are closed to them right now. The biggest fundraiser in IA is already locked to a Palin run. Bachmann is not considered a serious candidate but one of those novelty candidates we see every cycle. She's making some noise but won't make it past the finished line and none of the donors or fundraisers want to waste efforts.

This also shows that her grassroots are not very strong , she should be raising more from individuals who donate small amounts. Factor in the weak crowds of around 100 who show up for her events and I would say Bachmann will shock everyone with how poor she does in IA. Cain has much larger crowds at his events.
