Amid bus tour, Bachmann campaign makes pitch to evangelical voters
Tamara Scott and former Iowa state Rep. Danny Carroll, increasingly visible surrogates for Michele Bachmann, speaking at an Ottumwa, Iowa, restaurant Thursday night.
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa -- Michele Bachmanns 99-county bus tour reached the eight-day mark Friday, and the candidate was losing her voice. In a whisper she circulated tables at the Oasis Coffee House, greeting voters, autographing yard signs and posing for photos.
While the grueling schedule left Bachmann quieter than usual, a group of surrogates raised the volume this week on a message the campaign hopes will resonate among Iowas evangelical voters, in the run-up to the Jan. 3 caucus.
Do you know that the qualifications for public office are found in the Bible? asked Danny Carroll, a former state representative, during a visit to a restaurant in Albia on Thursday. Carroll was citing a passage in Exodus in which Moses is counseled to trust those who "feared God, were capable, and hated dishonest gain."
I believe that Michele Bachmann fits all of those qualifications, he added.

- to be president, wouldn't he have given her a brain?
I should think that would be one of the "qualifications" the Almighty would foresee as being necessary.
