1. Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stratetalker]

2. Lmao

Lmao. Marcus doesn't have a thang to wear...

[Bosso 63]

13. My thoughts exactly!

Don't stop the crazy train now.

[NathanTheGreat]

28. LOL

I wonder who her campaign manager is...because he should have saved some money and told her she was cooked like 2 months ago.

When you can't speak without sounding like an idiot...maybe President of The United States might be too much to strive for (although GWB somehow squeaked out 2 terms.)

[yardwork]

29. I thought her campaign manager just bolted to Paul. Maybe that was somebody else.

[NathanTheGreat]

34. Good job for him

It appears that he's pretty good at convincing someone that they have a chance.

He'll fit in perfectly in the Ron Paul camp.

[southernyankeebelle]

3. Drop out.

[Joe Bacon]

4. It's time to pop that champagne and PARTY!

[Scuba]

5. I can hear her now: "God came to me and told me he changed his mind....

... because he has even greater things in store for me."

[comipinko]

6. She is going to call up her christian army to toss out the interloper.

"Screw elections, we need a crusade!", said Bachmann while brandishing an AR-15, as "onward christian soldiers" blares from the podium. Newt Gingrich commented that he is smarter than everyone, so he should lead the battle.Bachmann dismissed this as Marcus glanced, and winked at Anderson Cooper. Rick Perry said, "opps", as his pants became loaded, "poopeed 'em" , he went on.

[Justice wanted]

7. hmmm. In the words of QUEEN: "Da, da, da, Another one Bites the dust". Guess we don't have

to worry about President Bachmann

[zipplewrath]

8. She's probably thinking VP

In her dream world, she's perfectly positioned to be the VP choice I'm sure.

[ixion]

9. buh-bye crazy lady

off you go...

[Javaman]

10. And now the end is near...

so after she says she's not a politician does that mean she's also going to retire from congress?

[JJW]

11. Is she going to go Rogue?

Another book signing gig? Too announce reduced pricing on her books?

[Liberal Veteran]

12. God told her to run.

I imagine He did so in order to teach her the pain of crushing defeat.

[Itchinjim]

14. Ha!

[BeyondGeography]

15. We don't know if Barack Obama will be a one-term President

But we do know you were a one-state candidate, Michelle.

[TomClash]

16. Bye, bye

Another one bites the dust.

[Loge23]

17. Has to prepare for the rapture.

What nonsensical mythology will she come up with today?!

[Botany]

18. bye bye batshit

[Rhiannon12866]

19. Without Bachmann and Perry, the entertainment value is gone...

[Wait Wut]

21. Oh, no...it'll get better.

I'm waiting for Newt to challenge Mitt to a wrestling match. Santorum will be hiding under the couch throwing feces at both of them and Paul will be wandering around, tinfoil hat in place, sniffing each one as he walks by.

[MaineDem]

22. Indeed! n/t

[liberal N proud]

20. So long batshit crazy!

[Roland99]

23. Batshit insane has left the building!

[brooklynite]

24. New Hampshire is starting to sound dull...

I've already seen Mittens and Newt; was hoping Bachmann would stay in through the weekend.

[Historic NY]

25. Oh well...........the herd thins

[Amerigo Vespucci]

26. "I...am...IRON WOMAN, and I'm goin' home now. Oh, dontcha know."

And she was SO CLOSE.

[sarcasmo]

27. No money, no campaign.

[Evasporque]

30. Christian conservatives will never pick a woman over a man....

That is not how conservative Christians roll...Conservative Christian interpretations of the Bible require woman to be subservient to men...

Bachmann was a fool to think otherwise....

[SnowCritter]

31. Dang it!

Now she'll come back and run for Congress again - and we're not out of stupid people to vote for her!

[Corruption Winz]

32. This is terrible news..

Now, without the idiot woman to counter-balance the idiot men, males will once again look like the dumber gender.

[Broderick]

33. Probably way in the minority here

but I will miss her.


LOL

[usrname]

35. Wonder if...

Obama's campaign can surreptitiously offer to buy air time for Bachmann. Heck, insist on buying air time would be a great idea. Shows what a magnanimous guy Obama is and help keep the crazy in the GOP's hairs for another few months.

Bachmann and Santorum and Perry (and Cain!) have to stay in consideration until at least through July or people will forget about them. And, we need them to burn up the Romney/Paul/Gingrich campaign war chest (or whoever will be the actual anointed GOP nominee; I still don't think any of the current slate will be the actual nominee).

[Kablooie]

36. Bye bye Bachmann, bye bye.

[Myrina]

37. I love when they say 'they'll continue to fight' ...

... as they bow out of a race ... was she ever actually on hand to vote on an issue during the last session? Or has she been perpetually on the campaign trail for the last 18 months?
