What Could Go Wrong?

In other news, Governor Rick Perry of Texas formally announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States today with a pledge to "make DC as inconsequential in your life as I can." And while that kind of talk may work in the primaries, but national polling shows people want the government to do more, not less.

Michele Bachmann won today's Clown Car Poll in Iowa, with Ron Paul emerging as a very close second.

The vote totals:
Bachmann 4823
Paul 4671
Pawlenty 2293
Santorum 1657
Cain 1456
Perry 718 (write-ins only)
Romney 567
Gingrich 385
Huntsman 69
McCotter 35
