It looks like Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) will not be running for governor, in the wake of GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s announcement that he is not seeking a third term.

“I don’t think so,” Bachmann campaign manager Michelle Marston told Minnesota Public Radio. “I think she’s very happy where she is.”

Bachmann’s name had come up in various media reports as a possible candidate for governor in case of an open seat. For some strange reason, liberal bloggers were especially fond of the idea.
