Like I said a few weeks ago. I’d be surprised if Bachmann is still in the race after January, true, she has a lot of supporters, but not the big money needed to move a campaign forward. Citizens for a Working America has quietly bailed on her and thrown their support to Romney. The Daily Caller reports:
A political action committee which had planned to support Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign has very quietly defected to Mitt Romney — and it’s spending big on his behalf.
Citizens for a Working America, the so-called Super PAC which aired TV ads against a Democrat congressional candidate last year, had indicated earlier this year that it was backing the Minnesota congresswoman in the GOP nominating contest. But the group instead made a $475,000 Iowa ad buy on Christmas Eve in support of Romney, according to Federal Election Commission data published yesterday.
The so-called independent expenditure was listed as supporting Romney’s candidacy, and an Iowa political operative who has seen the ad confirmed to The Daily that it’s a 30-second positive spot about the former Massachusetts governor that doesn’t mention any other candidate.
As I said, I’d be surprised if Bachmann stays in the race past January. I just don’t see how she can get the big money donors she desperately needs.
