FILE - On this April 6, 2011, file photo, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., speaks at an Americans for Prosperity "Cut Spending Now," rally on Capitol Hill in Washington. President Barack Obama has launched his re-election bid in a low-key manner, but the Republican Partys search for a challenger seems stranger by the day. In Iowa at least, theres also widespread talk about Bachmann, who would be the first president elected directly from the House since James Garfield. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File) (AP)
