Bachmann Portrays Opposing Marriage as Key to a Republican Win

Rep. Michele Bachmann has dismissed questions about same-sex marriage by national reporters as "frivolous," but during a town hall with primary voters in South Carolina on Thursday she portrayed her views on the issue as a major factor in whether she could be elected president.

The event was moderated by Republican congressman Tim Scott, who said he had a question from a man in the audience. "This question has been asked by several people and the question has to do with the defense of marriage," he warned.

Instead of refusing to answer by saying she's "running for the presidency of the United States" and implying the issue doesn't matter (as she did repeatedly during a recent string of Sunday interviews, including one on Meet the Press), Bachmann described a stand against gay marriage as critical to the success of Republicans.

"In our coalition we have fiscal conservatives, national security conservatives, the Tea Party movement, and we have social conservatives,"" she said. "You put that team together and there's no way that we can possibly lose the election in 2012. We need to stick together."
