Getting your player ready...
FORT DODGE, Iowa — Encountering small crowds and fresh viability questions, Republican Michele Bachmann slogged into the final weekend of Iowa caucus campaigning Friday looking for any spark to her flagging bid.
The closing week hasn’t been kind to the one-time GOP contender: She’s losing staff. She’s faced calls to abandon her bid. And she has no money.
The difficulties were evident in two restaurant stops where reporters outnumbered patrons. She got a warm welcome later on in Fort Dodge, where she popped in unannounced on a Iowa State football watching party at a sports bar.
