Michele Bachmann may have been spurned by the establishment when she made a play for the Republican leadership of the House, but that just made her want to run for the Senate.And now she has decided to "seriously weigh" running for president of the United States. Hooray! She will hold every elected office in the land simultaneously! Bachmann will head to Iowa this month, and has $3 million left in her campaign account. Sure, it's probably just wishful thinking that she and Sarah Palin will run for president. But let's wishfully think. As Barack Obama once said, "Hope."
So any other details besides "a source said so!," ABC News?
It is not known how soon Bachmann will finalize her decision on whether to seek the GOP nomination for president. Bachmann, the founder and chairwoman of the House Tea Party Caucus, is scheduled to be a guest on ABC News' political webcast "Top Line" on Friday.
Yeah, you're right. She'll probably announce on your Justin.tv thing.
However, Bachmann's senior staff did admit the Minnesotan is not ruling out a presidential campaign. "Nothing is off the table," Bachmann chief of staff Andy Parrish told ABC News when asked whether the Iowa trip signaled Bachmann's intent to run for president. "The congresswoman is excited about her first trip to Iowa this year."
These damn people. They are just trying to make her followers all hot-flashy and bothered so they will show up en masse to Iowa and throw money at her on the stage. She's not running for president. [ ABC News ]
