It’s all sun and smiles for Michele Bachmann’s latest Iowa ad, except for the dialogue. Titled “Believe It,” the spot features Bachmann discussing her vote against raising the debt ceiling and slamming her colleagues for “looting the treasury and bankrupting the nation.” Like the rest of the presidential field, Bachmann is rallying her supporters for the crucial Ames Straw Poll on August 13, and the ad asks voters to come join her for the big day.
