| Former presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., said she believes the Republican party will unify behind the eventual nominee, and does not believe they will be hampered by the ongoing primary fight. "I think the quicker that the Republicans can unify behind our candidate and make Barack Obama and his failed policies the focus of this election, the better off we all will be, but the people need to decide," Bachmann told me on "This Week." Bachmann has not endorsed a candidate, and did not say whether Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich should end their challenge to front-runner Mitt Romney. "Whoever the people choose, I will back that candidate, because I want mine not to be a divisive voice," Bachmann said. "I want to help unify the party and bring together the Tea Party element, the evangelical, and the establishment, and then reach out to independents and disaffected Democrats."
