Michele Bachmann On 2016 Presidential Run: 'I'm Not Taking Anything Off Of The Table'

A little more than one week after announcing she was retiring from Congress, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has not ruled out another run at the White House.

In her first television appearance since last week's announcement, Bachmann sat down with Fox News' Sean Hannity. He saved the 2016 question for last, asking her another presidential bid was in the cards.

"I'm not taking anything off of the table," Bachmann said. "But that's certainly not my number one item that I'm looking at right now, either. I'm in the game for the long haul."

5. But she said 'The White House' is not off of the table...

I read something last week about FoxNews not liking her very much, so I doubt she will be offer a job there.

I wouldn't be surprised if she tossing her hat in The 2016 GOP Presidential primary - not that she'd win but because of her love of being on camera.

Guess it will all depend on what happens when she goes to court May 14, 2014.

6. Found this pretty good piece...

Besides the little scandals, she won last time by a meager 5,000 votes in the most rightwing district in the state and the same guy is running against her this year with a lot more national Democratic support.

So, perhaps this wasn't entirely her decision-- her stepping down pretty much guarantees the seat stays Republican. Or at least increases the chances to where the party is comfortable.

In that light, vague claims of the future are the dreams of losers. She might throw her hat in the ring for anything available, but she's probably poison after this.
