Michele Bachmann campaign chair and Iowa state senator defects to Ron Paul

An Iowa legislator who was state chairman of Rep. Michele Bachmann's (R-Minn.) presidential campaign in Iowa left her side and endorsed Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) on Wednesday night, dealing a significant blow to Bachmann's campaign.

"If you are as frustrated as I am with what's been done by the ruling class, I urge you to join me in supporting Dr. Paul," state Sen. Kent Sorenson said in a statement sent out by Paul's campaign.

Sorenson is "leaving his post as Iowa chairman for U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign here," according to the statement. "The resignation and endorsement take effect immediately."

Sorenson's announcement seems to be a total surprise to the Bachmann campaign. He appeared at a Paul rally in Des Moines just a few hours after appearing with Bachmann at one of her events, according to The Washington Post's Dan Balz.

Sorenson is a Tea Party firebrand who was elected to the Iowa state senate in January after only one term in the state legislature. He owns a cleaning company and is father to six children. His decision to support Bachmann earlier this year was a big pickup for the congresswoman from Minnesota.

Marvelous! Simply marvelous...

although marvelous, I tend to be a skeptic and dubious of this in particular, seems more than a bit scarey and possibly scummy

I have two wide eyes which see, and they both urge me to be both critical and dubious

Michele Bachman, is a scary critter, and does not deserve this amount of air time, even if that air comes from her vacuous skull

I get the feeling that Bachman is going to do a 180 and endorse Paul in the near future. I actually foresee quite a few coattail riders hitching on to the Ron Paul juggernaut before it's all said and done.

I could see that. Bachman is certainly not a globalist, and she has said very nice things about Paul in the past.

The thing that I learned from the campaign guys is there is something called "the big freeze." It's the holiday season when people set aside their political interests and enjoy themselves. So the polling numbers typically remain the same during this period. Which takes us right into the first Caucus with Ron Paul in the lead in Iowa.

I do not believe for a moment that Dr. Paul would do anything but kick that clap trap vacuous head nuisance to the curb of the countries most filthy city(wherever that may be) she will drag him to the depths of the seven seas, because she is Israeli's batch(sic), Dr Paul wont stand for it, although it would be kinda nice to see him stomp on her egg shell head.

Better yet, Dr President Paul could appoint her ambassador to the worst hell hole nation on the planet, wherever that may be.
