Fading in the polls at the national level and in Iowa, where she claimed a big victory in the Republican straw poll in Ames in August, U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann looked to get her campaign for the GOP presidential nomination back on track as she unveiled her jobs and economic plans on Tuesday -- and bashed President Barack Obamas economic record.
Carole Crist, wife of pretend-to-be-partyless former Gov. Charlie Crist, became the first to go last week.
Go where? Over to the Democrats. She changed her registration -- it's official.
Think of Carole as a trial balloon. Charlie floats her up, sees how the wind blows, and should it blow her toward any of those Dems with the big bucks for, say, another Crist run for something-or-other -- whatever office we've got out there -- then Charlie might launch his own Big Campaign Balloon.
