Michele Bachmann Launches '99 Counties' Ad Campaign

Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann is working her way through Iowa's 99 counties with the message that the people have spoken — and they want her for president.

Still in the thick of the bus tour across the state, Bachmann's camp announced that it would launch a television, radio and online advertising campaign that includes the voices of actual voters in Iowa this week.

Titled "Voices from Michele Bachmann's 99 County Tour," the two-part television campaign features voters at stops on the tour talking about why they want Bachmann for president.

• "She stands up for what she believes in. She listens to what the American people say," says one woman.
• Another voter says, "She says she's not a politician, I like to hear that."
• "I think Michele would be the best at clamping down on the budget," says another.
• "We're behind her 100 percent," concludes one woman.

Even Bachmann's daughter, Sophia, gets in a plug for her mom, saying, "It's cool that she's my mom, of course, and I'm going to be voting in this election for the first time, so one more vote mom, you're welcome."

The two ads will run this week statewide prior to the Jan. 3 Iowa Caucus. 

Also running this week are three new radio advertisements titled, "Why Michele." The ads focus on Bachmann's values with a spotlight on her history of being a true, consistent conservative force. To listen to the ads, click on one of the links below:
