Michele Bachmann Drops Out of Presidential Race – ABC News.
After finishing last in her home state, Bachmann has left the Republican presidential race.
Bachmann would have been fully capable of functioning in the role of President, but had difficulty in projecting that competency to the public.
A health care type of analogy: Bachmann is a “pharmacist” and Palin is a “nurse”. It would have been much easier for Palin to be elected.
The real winner in Iowa is Rick Santorum, even though Mitt Romney edged him by 8 votes or so.
Iowa is not a conservative state. It has enough of a leftist base to allow for gay marriage, and to be the first state to adopt telemed abortions. Also in Iowa it is permissible for Democrats to vote in the Republican caucuses.
For Santorum to have done so well in that state is significant.
