“Bachmann still holds the office for some 18 more months and she wouldn’t announce leaving out of fear of losing a race a year and a half away. I personally think she’s looking toward another office. If not a national office, Minnesota could sure use a better SOS.”
I believe that Michele Bachmann is looking ahead to other opportunities, also. I don’t believe for one second that she felt she would lose, or that she is considering leaving politics. This lady has much more to do. :-)
