PHOTO: Holy CRAP, look at the size of this TURNOUT. It's so PRESIDENTIAL! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

FILE - In this Oct. 13, 2011 file photo, Republican presidential candidate, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. speaks in Denison, Iowa. Iowa's presidential caucuses are any Republican candidate's to win. Just two months before the GOP nomination voting begins, Iowa Republicans aren't surging toward former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney even though he's essentially been running for president since losing here in 2008. And, this time, none of his opponents has emerged as the consensus candidate of conservatives _ and, thus, Romney's chief challenger _ the way Mike Huckabee did four years ago.

1. Funny, but Iowa really & literally is about meeting the people one on one.

A caucus campaign picture like this from Iowa at this point really doesn't mean too much.

[Merlot]

2. Poor woman on the end has to cover her ears!

[ET Awful]

10. Nah, she's just turning down her hearing aid so she can smile and nod politely

but not actually listen to any of the bullshit.

[tishaLA]

3. You know her mic is unnecessary with the size of that crowd

She's only using it because she thinks it's a great accessory. And she likes hearing her voice really loud.

9. That's not turnout, those are relatives!

Just my thoughts. Some cousins and great aunts or such.

[IDemo]

11. Brings to mind this classic pic ->

[Journeyman]

12. The crowd was somewhat larger than the photo in the OP suggests. . .

though unless it was quite windy, or those trees are further away than they look, there's no doubt the microphone is superfluous.

[rugger1869]

14. Ewwww

Hose and open-toed shoes. How gauche. :puke:

[Warren DeMontague]

[Sannum]

26. Stump speech at Shady Pines?

Seriously, you better get their votes for the Primary, Michele, because it looks like they might not be around for the General...

[Cresent City Kid]

27. Is she running for president ...

or judging a Barbara Bush look alike contest?

And yeah, that's totally George Lucas on the end.

[Mimosa]

28. Sorry, this didn't scare me. Not one iota. n/t

[Mz Pip]

29. No offense

The modern Republican "Party".

This is more evidence that teabaggers have a very short shelf life.
