Bachmann drops to last place in Iowa 2012 Presidential Power Rankings

[a kennedy]

D*mn, would have loved to have seen her with POTUS during a debate.....

In the 15th edition of the Iowa Independent’s Power Rankings, U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota has fallen to the back of the GOP herd, according to the journalists, academics and political consultants surveyed.

A major disconnect is underway that makes it difficult to know exactly how the caucuses would play out if they were held tonight. That is, the candidates who are surging in polling are those who aren’t spending time in Iowa, a state that values its grassroots, retail politics.

So while the field itself became clearer with the final announcements by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin that they would not seek the nomination, the path out of the caucuses has become more muddy. Social conservatives are rumored to make up 60 percent of GOP caucus-goers in Iowa, and we’ve yet to see them coalesce around a single candidate. Republicans who focus more on fiscal issues also have yet to find a home within the current field.

The situation, according to our group of assembled panelists, has opened a door for individuals previously expected to do “just enough” in the Iowa caucuses due to assembled core support to grab the golden ring of victory.

1. As soon as the money runs out, Bachmann will run out.

Until then, she's having a ball getting all that media coverage. She lost this a long time ago, and never really was a player in the first place.

What's her next act? Run again for a lousy House seat? I doubt it, and I doubt she'd win again in 2012. She's done - toast - history...

2. If nothing else ...

... the total schizophrenia of the GOP candidates, their stances, the rankings and the 'desires' of their voters should scare any remotely sane people into voting Dem without hesitation.

3. But she was born in Iowa, in the same county as John Wayne...

...Gacy!!!
