Minnesota Congressman Michele Bachmann spurred speculation that she may run for president in 2012 with a day-long series of private and public events in Iowa. She answered questions from reporters for about five minutes tonight after making a 43-minute-long speech in Des Moines for an Iowans for Tax Relief fundraiser. Bachmann told reporters she wanted to be “part of the conversation’ — and said she feels no pressure to make a decision “anytime soon” about running for president.
“I think our nominee will bubble up to the surface about a year from now,” Bachmann added.
