Batshit Crazy Caucus UPDATE: Michele Bachmann's gonna surprise you with her "soft, hidden support"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Once seen as the candidate to beat in the state's leadoff nomination contest, the Minnesota congresswoman planned to make her final appeal for support at a caucus site in Black Hawk County, where she spent the first years of her life. Her schedule ahead of the night's voting was packed with interviews on Iowa airwaves and with conservative radio shows nationally.

Every recent poll put Bachmann in last place heading into the caucuses, a far cry from her summer win in a state GOP straw poll. But top campaign advisers vowed she would prove the recent surveys wrong by activating a support network built through her visits to small towns and churches in every corner of Iowa.

"All the seeds we have sown are about to be harvested," Bachmann told a rally for volunteers outside her headquarters Monday night.

On Fox News Tuesday morning, Bachmann said: "I think there's a lot of soft, hidden support that's going to come out tonight for the caucuses. I think a lot of people are going to be surprised."

1. I'm not touching that line.

One of two things would happen. It would be too easy or the PC crowd would have a collective hissy fit.

[HappyMe]

8. Yup.

*sigh!* So many jokes ....

[Jackpine Radical]

14. I knew that line would bring out all of DU's stand-up comics.

But she is facing pretty stiff competition, I understand.

2. You mean like the

"soft, hidden" support she gets from her husband?

Geebs, talk about delusional!

[snooper2]

3. "Once seen as the candidate to beat in the state's leadoff nomination contest"

Haven't each one of these dipshits had their turn at the "lead"

[Ship of Fools]

4. Sounds like she's

*softened* her claim of a "miracle" happening for her.

[undeterred]

5. Sounds like she's going to show off her new bra.

[MNBrewer]

10. Exactly what I thought!

Will it be lacy? What color?

[undeterred]

13. she used all the bra marketing buzz words

[TheManInTheMac]

6. Delusional, yes, but what do you expect from someone whose sole source of information

is freerepublic. She now doubt believes that's how main stream America thinks.

[WingDinger]

7. Silly, you cannot harvest your seeds, once you sow them into her soft hidden support. Save the dress

I just KNOw I will get Strepto-Caucus for that.

9. Is this related to the Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations?

[WingDinger]

12. She is on fire, from the low spark of high heeled boys.

[Jackpine Radical]

11. Campaign advisers? She still has people who didn't desert to Ron Paul?

My take on it is that they all figured out that she has no likelihood of going anywhere, so they abandoned her for the next-craziest candidate.

[Betty Karlson]

15. Which is why she is left with the people who actually believe

that she still has a chance. All the career campaigners have deserted the sinking ship.

[Jackpine Radical]

16. Those, plus maybe some

who need the job & can feign belief in her chances.

They'll vanish when the last cookie is gone from the campaign jar.

[Homer12]

17. Yes, she's using Palins sexy conservative cougar strategy!

this is so funny.
