The National Journal is quoting an anonymous source who says Michele Bachmann is dropping her bid for the White House. The source says the campaign sees "no viable way forward" after her sixth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.

Bachmann has canceled a trip to South Carolina and scheduled a 10 a.m. news conference in Iowa amid mounting rumors that she'll step out of the race, according to the Hill.

Political insiders, including Sarah Palin and her own former campaign manager Ed Rollins, are saying her campaign is essentially finished. "I think if she goes on she's just going to go into debt," Rollins says in an interview in the Huffington Post.

Politico quotes a few anonymous sources, one of whom says the situation is "dire." They say the Republican hopeful is having trouble tapping major donors.

The Minnesota Congresswoman told the Christian Broadcasting Network that she was doomed because the media focused on a few minor stumbles involving Elvis Presley and John Wayne. Bachmann dropped out of the race for the White House after a sixth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses. She formally endorsed Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination Thursday.

Sources tell Politico that Michele Bachmann's main campaign hub is now Des Moines, Iowa.

The Boston Globe earlier quoted anonymous sources suggesting Michele Bachmann might soon endorse her former rival, Mitt Romney. But Bachmann's team said the report is "completely false" and asked the paper retract the article. Romney is making a campaign stop in the Twin Cities on Wednesday.

The Minnesota Congresswoman told Bloomberg that money will be the factor that narrows the field. Bachmann has yet to endorse any of the remaining Republican contenders. She dropped out of the race for the White House after finishing sixth in the Iowa caucuses.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., dropped out of the presidential race and moved on to her re-election campaign months ago, but her most recent filing with the Federal Election Commission indicates her presidential campaign still owes $935,000 to vendors. And a former aide on the campaign is suing the congresswoman, alleging that the campaign stole a private email list of Christian home school teachers.

Some thought it was a tough month for Michele Bachmann, what with all the heat she took from fellow Republicans over her remarks tying federal officials to fundamentalist Islamic groups. But her supporters are solidly behind the Minnesota Congresswoman and opened their wallets to prove it. Even so, some pundits see Bachmann drifting toward the margins of the national political scene.

Battling rumors of struggling campaign funding, Michele Bachmann is reaching out to prospective buyers of her upcoming memoir. Donors can receive a personalized, autographed copy for $125. For just a signed copy, Bachmann will ask for $75.
