Michele Bachmann says she'll be on board with the Republican ticket no matter who the party's presidential candidate is. The Minnesota Congresswoman says she just wants to see President Obama defeated in the fall.

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.

Critics say the Minnesota Republican went too far in making allegations that U.S. government officials are linked to Muslim extremists. But some of the people she represents in the exurbs north of the Twin Cities rally to her defense, Politico reports. In fact, the congresswoman's comments – which ignited a firestorm of criticism, even from Republicans – may have further galvanized Bachmann's base.

The Minnesota Congresswoman questioned the impartiality of the Donald and she's not alone. Five of the seven Republican presidential candidates invited declined. Only Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum agreed.

Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann was born and raised in Iowa. The presidential candidate is reminding Iowa's Republican caucus voters of those roots in her only TV ad airing less than 24-hours before Tuesday's caucuses. The Des Moines Register reports the spot started airing across the state Monday.

Michele Bachmann says the Obama administration's new requirement that employers include contraception in their health plans helped make social issues a priority for Republicans on Tuesday. She says Rick Santorum's victories were "a shot across the bow" but the Congresswoman does not think Republican voters have made up their minds about who they want to challenge President Obama.

The Republican Congresswoman is on her two-day energy tour through Minnesota's 6th Congressional District. Michele Bachmann blames Democrats for the high gas prices because they didn't support domestic drilling legislation. During her GOP presidential campaign she promised to bring gasoline prices back to $2 per gallon.

Mitt Romney's presidential campaign says the presumptive Republican nominee will appear with Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann in Portsmouth, Virginia, Thursday afternoon. Bachmann recently said she delayed endorsing her party's candidate because she was working behind the scenes to bring various Republican factions together.
