Bachmann likely to announce in Iowa next month...

[one_voice]

DES MOINES – Hours after Sarah Palin announced a bus tour of the east coast that could presage a presidential campaign, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) told reporters here that she was likely to announce a White House campaign next month in Waterloo, Iowa.

Bachmann, who spent much of her childhood in Waterloo, wouldn’t definitively say that she would launch a bid in the eastern Iowa city, but it was clear she was only holding back to sustain a measure of suspense for the actual event.

“The announcement will be made in Iowa, and it will be made in Waterloo and we’ll give you the date and the time,” she said via speaker phone to a room full of reporters in a hotel conference room here.

Bachmann was slated to speak to a Polk County GOP dinner, but remained in Washington, D.C., to vote on an extension of the Patriot Act.

2. This will suck for Pawlenty.

I heard a story on Minnesota Public Radio the other week at an event where both Bachmann and Pawlenty attended and they talked about Bachmann first and then Pawlenty.

9. Looks like it's time to dust this photo off

I made this way back when the phrase
'crazy bus" was first coined and put it in my photobucket for safekeeping. I don't remember whether I ever posted it before....but it sure seems relevant now. (notice that there's still some room on that bus, lol)
