Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appears to not be ruling out a potential bid for Governor of Minnesota. An aide had previously said Bachmann wasn’t interested, but apparently that door is still open.

“It would have to be if I felt like I was supposed to do it and right now I feel like I’m where I’m supposed to be,” Bachmann told Minnesota Public Radio. “If my heart moved in the other direction and I had the tug, I’d do it. I wouldn’t be afraid to run for office. I just don’t feel the tug.”

What might that tug look like? Well, Bachmann did say back in 2006 that God called her to run for Congress, and that she and her husband fasted for three days to ask God if this was indeed His will.
