Way to take the high road, Michele.
Via Des Moines Register:
Responding to reports that Cain was “reassessing” his campaign in light of adultery allegations, Bachmann said the latest crisis was one more argument in favor of her candidacy.
“I think the language that’s used in particular in the tweet is code language for the fact that they’re looking at the viability of their effort moving forward,” she said. “I think that they recognize that the support has really dropped out of their campaign because of those questions.”
(The tweet she referred to was the first in a flood of reports this morning about a Cain campaign conference call in which he made the “reassessment” comments. The Des Moines Register and the National Review listened in on the call.)
Bachmann continued, “That goes back to the message we’ve been trying to get out to people across Iowa, and that’s that I do have a core of conviction, I’ve been the consistent conservative in the race and as people have been shopping around for the candidates I think they’re going to come back home and see I’ve been the consistent, constitutional conservative who’s going to fight.
