Outgoing Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) dropped a subtle hint in a recent Associated Press interview that she may be considering a 2016 presidential run. The piece highlights Bachmann’s high-profile career bucking the political establishment, even within her own party. Published in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the report reads:

As she wrapped up her congressional business this past week, Bachmann said she is determined to play a role in the next presidential election. The possibility of Democrats nominating Hillary Rodham Clinton will make the voices of Republican women more important than ever, she said.

“I occupy a very unique space,” she said. “I am the only woman who has been in presidential debates on the Republican ticket.”

Her own presidential bid began in June 2011 and peaked with a win in a key Iowa straw poll, but she never found traction with voters as real ballots were cast. While she has “no intention right now of running for president,” she also won’t rule it out.

Bring. It. On!

1. She better hurry up while there's still some room in the clown car

It's filling up fast, I think I saw that Santorum has decided to give it another shot.

2. Mitt, Santorum,Bachman,Perry?

And son of Paul. And Ben Carson subbing for Herman Cain. This is going to be extremely boring.

3. Yes I agree that you "occupy a very unique space"

no one else could be as intellectually bereft as you, unless it's Sarah Palin.

Carson, Santorum, Cruz, Paul, maybe Jeb and Mittens? The fun is beginning already.

9. Isn't she dodging a federal investigation about her campaign practices?

Does she really want to tempt them by getting back in the game?

20. Her campaign theme will be written for circus calliope and slide whistle!!!!!

21. it is great for book sales

Let her get up there and make noise for the far right. It just forces their nominee to the right and makes him (or her) even less electable.
