Faltering Before a Nation

     I found this particular article while perusing the ABC News website: "Former Advisor: Bachman Blew Debate Momentum with Vaccine 'Mistake'." Bachman's political trail has been somewhat scattered with blunders and it is my job as a concerned citizen to read further. The article talks about a few of  Michele Bachman's bumps along the way in her presidential race for the republican nomination.
     The article goes on to talk about how Rick Perry and Michele Bachman went head to head in a debate that gained Bachman praise when the topic of Perry's recent plan to make all young girls get the HPV vaccine came up. Bachman criticized his idea and even went on to talk about the real reasons as to why Perry is suddenly wanting to implement this plan. The article then goes into detail about how Bachman dived headfirst into her own presidential campaign demise. Over Labor Day weekend one of Bachman's campaign runners left her campaign and then publicly ridiculed her campaign methods. From that point forward Bachman has started to spiral out of control. From such remarks stating that the HPV vaccine causes mental retardation to making fun of the hurricane that devastated the Eastern coast. The article goes into more detail on why her campaign could be in serious trouble.
     Not only is this article a bit of a spectacle on how uncensored Bachman is but it also shows the instability of her campaign and the possible flaws that could lead to her demise. The mere fact that people from her own campaign are abandoning her doesn't bode well. Mix her crass remarks into the melting pot of all of the other politicians more subtle techniques of putting their ideas out there and it could lead to her losing the nomination.
