Bachmann to visit all 99 Iowa counties

Because she needs to spread the stupid around...

ST. PAUL, Minnesota- Each of Iowa's 99 counties is likely to hear from Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann by the end of December.

Bachmann's campaign said Monday that she plans to spend 10 days
crisscrossing the state and will begin Friday in northwest Iowa. With a break for Christmas, Bachmann's bus tour is expected to stop in every Iowa county by Dec. 28.

The Minnesota congresswoman is hoping to pull off a surprise win
in the first caucus state. Bachmann won a nonbinding Iowa GOP straw poll in August but her standing has slipped since then. Polls show former House speaker Newt Gingrich leading his rivals in the state.

Ugh...My brain hurts now.

Michele is not exactly the Breck Girl, and giving voters a close-up doesn't translate to more votes in my estimation.
