In the wake of her realization that even Iowa evangelicals found her a tad loony, self-anointed Tea Party queen and Sarah Palin knock-off Michelle Bachmann suspended her campaign this morning. Bachmann finished 6th place in Iowa (the state she was born in) with a mere 6,073 votes, compared to the 30,015 votes received by winner Mitt Romney:
Personally, I always found Michelle Bachmann to be akin to the Wal-Mart brand version of Sarah Palin, but with an even greater propensity for anti-science hysteria (HPV vaccine, anyone?) and homophobia. Her exit from the race already makes this presidential campaign a little more respectable and less hysterical. Bye Bye Bachmann. (If it's any consolation, I hope Marcus at least enjoyed my allusion to the musical "Bye Bye Birdie" in this post's title)
