Michele Bachmann Launches New TV Ad in Iowa

With a key straw poll looming next Friday, the field of Republican presidential candidates continued to focus on Iowa this week, the site of the first caucus. On Wednesday, Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann released a television ad running across the Hawkeye State as she looked to solidify her credentials as the leading conservative threat to front-runner Mitt Romney. In the ad, Bachmann takes aim at President Barack Obama on the economy and repeats her opposition to raising the federal debt ceiling.
