ABC News says U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachmann is considering running for president and will confer this month with GOP officials in Iowa about her prospects in that early caucus state.
Citing an unnamed "source close to the three-term congresswoman," the network said in a report Wednesday that Bachmann will hold "multiple meetings to seek advice from political forces there and party elders close to the caucus process before coming to a final decision regarding a potential presidential run."
Bachmann, a Republican who represents Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District, has roots in Iowa, having been born in Waterloo, Iowa.
Bachmann also is the headliner at an Iowans for Tax Relief PAC fundraiser Jan. 21 in Des Moines, ABC noted.
Her trip to Iowa will be her third in eight months. Last week, she attended a GOP fundraiser in Michigan.
Asked about Bachmann's presidential intentions, her chief of staff, Andy Parrish, told ABC News: "Nothing is off the table. The congresswoman is excited about her first trip to Iowa this year."

Actually, we are coming off 2 big “firsts” for American Presidents....the first Muslim president and the first Socialist President.......
“Mine is she and Jim DeMint”
Me, too. Either way would be wonderful.
"Drill baby, drill!"
YES!
I hope so, anyway.
Actually, I really hope she is as she implies. Seriously “offensive” to the PC liberals by truly being conservative and not afraid of it.
Run, Michelle, run! She has all the experience and her voting record and personal life are stellar.
Yes Agreed. Bachmann 2012!
Olbie and Matthews hate her but they can’t touch her.
They rudely said one night Bachmann was in a trance.
It was unprofessional and rude she had screaming in a crowd and an ear piece.
Bachmann needs to stay just below the radar nothing too personal about family or what not until they take the stage.
Let them attack her she will prevail! Hey Matthews can you say PRESIDENT BACHMANN? The first WOMAN PRESIDENT!
Nah. Maybe Bachmann could get Walt Williams or Tom Sowell to do VP (they refuse to do Pres). Then we’d have a deadly serious CONSERVATIVE ticket of “minorities” (purebred) that would drive the fascists absolutely nuts.
Bachmann before Palin
I have always said she is the best pick.
For Freeper conservatives unfamiliar with her, I suggest you read up on her; you will not be disappointed.
I am also comforted knowing that the RNC has a problem with her. Would love to see Rove’s grimace when he finds out just how popular she can be.
Ideal!
Gas will be a dollar a gallon and there will be jobs!
If the libs don’t like all the prosperity they can all move to a small island and take Obama and the liberal states.
They can TAX themselves, all the hollywood celebrities,the democrats,CEO’s, SEIU et al unions and all their fat cat WEALTHY buds till they are BROKE and we DON”T HAVE TO SUFFER with them!
I like her, too.
She’s a lawyer so she knows how to foil the socialist elite legally and she knows the original intent of the constitution and she seems and sounds committed to that. She will redirect homeland security onto their purpose - Muslim terrorism - as she has jumped all over HS for harassing Americans as “domestic terrorists.”
Fine with me if she’s our conservative.
Plus she doesn’t have that screechy voice.
I would bet money the RNC want Romney.They can go to hell.
Love Michelle, but the media would rip her up even more than Sarah.
Palin way better then Bachmann.
She is on my list, and it is a very short one.
Agreed. I take this to mean that Sarah isn’t running. She will support Michelle.
I think they asked the same thing about Reagan. Sound principles seemed to work for him, as he used them to shape the foreigners’ experience with us.
lol
Don’t forget the first Kenyan president!!
Watch this video. It is so eye awakening watching Matthews spin for Obama. America wishes they would have listened. The bad bad Bush was being repeated so often every one believed it.
The democrats garbage of using Alinsky tactics won’t work anymore ever again.
