Bachmann made the decision early today after receiving only 5% of the Iowa caucus vote on yesterday. She failed to win a single county, including Black Hawk, in which she was raised in. She decided to withdraw from the race and canceled the campaign that she scheduled for in South Carolina. She says that "The people of Iowa spoke with a very clear voice and I have decided to stand aside that." Who knew that .04 % of the nations population could affect Bachmann's decision. This goes against people who believe that Iowa caucuses play no significant role. It sometimes acts as an "eye-opener" for a candidate and let them see that they are not popular. This is not the end of Bachmann. She says, "I will continue to fight to defeat the president's agenda for socialism."  She believes that Barack Obama's Health Care's reform "endanger the very survival of our republic." “I ran because I believe since Day 1 Barack Obama’s policies based on socialism are destructive to the very foundations of the republic.” 
Members of a Minnesota women's group were sad to see Bachmann go. “Congresswoman Bachmann is a leader,” said Voices of Conservative Women President Jennifer DeJournett. “We were proud to see her break yet another barrier for women in politics. Congresswoman Bachmann never failed to make her voice heard on the issues she cared about and fought to defend.”
Bachmann's dropout could will definitely work in favor for the candidates. The question is, which candidate will Bachmann's supporters back-up now??
