Bachmann ends GOP presidential bid
(CNN) - Michele Bachmann ended her bid for the Republican presidential nomination Wednesday, hours after a disappointing sixth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.
The Minnesota congresswoman suspended her campaign, a legal technicality that will allow her to continue to raise and spend campaign funds.

A good day for president Paul.
With Perry not coming to SC, and now Bachman too-just shows prayers are answered.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
She can go back to grooving on the dance floor with her masculine husband who can really cut a rug
honestly, who would want to be bossed by that woman
Good.
Ding-dong. The witch is dead! What is with "suspending" your campaign? Just admit that you lost!
Now she can return to doing her job – you know, the job she was elected to do – I wish I had the freedom to ignore my job every day and still get paid while developing my next job – just one other example of how politicians are completely out of touch with the every day realities that 99.9% of the people have to deal with.
Thank you God!
She's out? Shocker!
It is amazing that Michele Bachmann can bring God into her speech, while flat out lying and bearing false witness about Obama in the same speech. My parents and Grandparents taught us that talk like that is a ticket to a very bad place. You don't have to wonder why she got a whooping at the polls and evangelicals refused her hype and lies.
Too late damage has done already
Only thing that would make this day better is if Rick Perry would hurry up and announce he is dropping out too
wonder what gods knew plan is for her–maybe fox news
Its the best decision she's made to date.
