DES MOINES, IA -- Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann announced today that after coming near dead last in the Iowa Caucus that she was going to step aside. "The Iowan voters spoke and I will listen and step out of the Presidential run."

A somber Michelle Bachmann thanked her supporters. "Our supporters were so wonderful. Me and my family have no regrets, as we spent none of our own money."

The Bachmann campaign started well with her winning a straw poll back in June which saw he Iowa and National polling numbers rise. However, she opened her mouth and by August Rick Perry had overtaken her in the polls to contest front runner Mitt Romney.

Bachmann made her evangelical faith the center of her campaign and her announcement continued to do so. "I have fulfilled the will of my Lord and Savior. Jesus wanted me to finish in sixth in the Iowa caucus and he doesn't want me running anymore, so I look forward to what Jesus has in store for me," noted Bachmann in front of a small crowd who were dismayed by the news of her stepping out of the race.

Bachmann took no questions after she gave her announcement, so there are still unanswered questions as to whether she will endorse another candidate or where her ten or so dozen supporters may flock over to. Additionally, no one could inquire whether God wanted Bachmann to run for re-election in her district.
