A political action committee which had planned to support Michele Bachmann's presidential campaign has very quietly defected to Mitt Romney — and it's spending big on his behalf.

Citizens for a Working America, the so-called Super PAC which aired TV ads against a Democratic congressional candidate last year, had indicated earlier this year that it was backing the Minnesota congresswoman in the GOP nominating contest.

Many candidates went broke competing in Iowa. They will drop out soon and then the real race will begin.

More evidence that Bachmann is nothing but a stalking horse for Romney. Pathetic.
