Bachmann to start running ads in Iowa

Michele Bachmann's campaign for President announced today that they're going to start running TV and radio ads in Iowa this week. Bachmann, who won the Iowa Straw poll in August, is working to rally support for her candidacy at the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses. The campaign says the ads will run statewide through Jan. 3 and will feature "Voices from Iowa."

This is the second ad campaign Bachmann has run in Iowa. She ran ads right before the Iowa Straw poll.

Bachmann is just the latest candidate to start running ads in Iowa. Texas Congressman Ron Paul and Texas Gov. Rick Perry are spending heavily in Iowa. Super Pacs backing Perry and Mitt Romney are also reportedly spending heavily in the state.
