So he's mostly ruled it out now. And time to join is coming fast. Aug. is the first major poll in Iowa. After that, its a lot harder to win.

[Apocalypse]

Added Electoral changes.

Added Raphael Herman of Florida

[Apocalypse]

[Apocalypse]

Bachman is likely ineffective at this point.

[Apocalypse]

I tend to agree. Its down to Perry and a distance Mitt if Perry keeps making Gaffs.

Bachman made too many early gaffs, and the media just ate her alive.

You are correct, I liked her and still like her but some things are best kept to yourself and at other times she just handed them ammo.

She still will see a boost in her poll numbers yet, and I expect her to stick it out till least Dec/Jan.

Michele Bachmann’s memoir will arrive in stores in November.

This will help her as every one will be racing to grab her book and interest will peak when released. But will it be enough, I doubt it. Damage will be done by then.

Being a betting man, next to drop will be Newt. He's even more broke, and his campaign is not moving. Thou I would have bet he would have dropped before Tim.

She just won the straw poll, can't really say she's not moving...it's kinda that dead, nothing going on time...I'd give it a couple more debates, particularly with Perry in them, to see how things shake up.
