Bachmann emphasized her local connections in an appearance Sunday night at the Electric Park Ballroom, an old dance hall where her parents used to go as a young couple.

At a rally that drew several hundred people, Bachmann connected her nostalgia for her childhood here--walking to school and eating lettuce and mayonnaise sandwiches--with a sense of optimism for the future.
