7:10Now PlayingDemocracyNow.org - Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll in August, but placed sixth with just 5 percent of the vote in last night's Iowa caucus. Democracy Now! discusses the results with Ryan Rhodes, a Bachmann supporter and a founding member of the Iowa Tea Party. Rhodes says Bachmann's poor showing stems from a surge of Tea Party voters swinging their vote over to Rick Santorum, instead of third-place candidate Ron Paul. Regarding the Occupy movement that has protested both Republicans and Democrats in Iowa, Rhodes says, "They understand President Barack Obama has not kept his promises. He is running a campaign that people have not been able to trust."
