URBANDALE, Iowa (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, fighting low expectations in the Iowa caucuses, is dismissing predictions that a poor showing could effectively doom her campaign.
"We think people are going to be very surprised with what the vote is tonight. We're confident," Bachmann said after addressing an assembly of suburban high school students Tuesday morning. "We're moving on. We're moving forward because this election is far from over. This is the opening chapter. Tonight is the first vote. We've got a long road to go.

LMAO
Perry admitted he made a mistake. Bachmann wouldn't let it go.
Time and again she factually incorrect statements and comments. For a lawyer, that's really unacceptable behavior.
BTW, I was a big time Bachmann fan, but she's proven herself incapable of assuming the role as a world leader.
Bachmann had a right to dedicate two weeks of her campaign to the vaccine mandate effort in Texas;the one that never happened, never passed, for which regret and an apology was issued, over and over, by Governor Perry, who clearly explained, over and over, his motivations were for the girl he was praying for, the victim of cancer, his friend whom has since died, and why he acted in haste and at her behest.
Bachmann simply never did mention that victim, never showed a sliver of consideration for the friendship between the victim and the governor as the centerpiece of his misguided effort.
Bachmann is free to do all that with overkill, but voters are free to notice it too. Many did. They didn’t much like it.
People ragged on Cain for not “going after Romney” too.
Thing is she is competing for conservative votes not Romney votes, same thing with Cain. So it makes sense neither would focus on Romney.
Thanks justiceseeker93 (for all three replies).
