Michele Bachmann (who came in a very close second with write-in candidate “Michelle Bachmann”) won the 2011 Ames Straw Poll in Iowa. This officially sets her on the victory path of former Alternate Reality Presidents Pat Robertson, Bob Dole, Phil Gramm,* and Mitt Romney.
*Bob Dole and Phil Gramm tied in 1995, making them the only co-presidents in Alternate U.S. history. Historians characterize the Dole-Gramm partnership by its air of congeniality and relative lack of strife–aside from one week in 1997 when they painted a line down the middle of the Oval Office.
