Michele Bachmann Outraises Mitt Romney

Who's the front-runner, again? Michele Bachmann raised $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2011, easily trumping Mitt Romney's $1.9 million, reports Fox News. Bachmann pulled in $500,000 through her political action committee (MichelePAC) and $1.7 million through her congressional re-election fund. The latter money could be transferred to a presidential campaign, and Bachmann has declared that "I'm in." (Or at least "in" enough to form an exploratory committee.) Most of her contributions came from small donations, notes Fox, cementing her reputation as a master fund-raiser. (More Michele Bachmann stories.)
