Why not look at it this way, if Bachman were not in the race, Mitt Romney would be solidifying his lead.
Romney had decided to forgo Iowa long before MB even spoke of running.
If Romney was really in a tie in Iowa, he certainly would re evaluate skipping IOWA!!! He has no plans for this. The Dem Reg is pushing Romney/MB It`s so obvious...wake up..Dem Reg is just part of the LSM.
Romney internal polling in IOWA shows he is nowhere near 2nd place. If it`s wrong for Romney, the poll is wrong for everybody.
Otherwise you will hear rumblings that Romney believes he has a chance in Iowa. He is not even competing in Iowa
