Bachmann is going for it, 'will form a presidential exploratory committee'

The guys at AMERICAblog Elections have more, but wanted to post the BIG news. Looks like one of the biggest wing nuts in the GOP is running for President. Yes, Michele Bachmann is making the move:

CNN has exclusively learned that Rep. Michele Bachmann will form a presidential exploratory committee. The Minnesota Republican plans to file papers for the committee in early June, with an announcement likely around that same time.

But a source close to the congresswoman said that Bachmann could form the exploratory committee even earlier than June so that she could participate in early Republican presidential debates.

"She's been telling everyone early summer," the source told CNN regarding Bachmann's planned June filing and announcement. But the source said that nothing is static.

It's going to be quite a contest to see which of the GOP contenders can be the most extreme. I think Bachmann will give Santorum a run for that title.

Matt Browner Hamlin explains the timing will be determined by the debate schedule, noting "It would be a crying shame if Bachmann misses out of any of the Republican debates." Exactly. Michele deserves face time.
