This image taken from michelebachmann.com, shows Congresswoman Michele Bachmann making a video announcement on her website. Bachmann, the staunchly conservative ex-presidential candidate who once called Barack Obama "anti-American," said Wednesday, May 29, 2013 she will not seek re-election in the House of Representatives. Bachmann, whose penchant for provocative rhetoric made her a favorite among the conservative tea party movement, said in a video on her website that her decision not to run in 2014 had nothing to do with concerns about being re-elected. She also said recent inquiries into her 2012 presidential campaign finances did not affect her decision. (AP Photo/michelebachmann.com)

FILE - In this Jan. 16, 2012 file photo Republican presidential candidates former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum counters former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, right, during the South Carolina Republican presidential debate in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Remember Newt Gingrich calling Romney a liar? Michele Bachmann saying Romney's unelectable? Santorum calling Romney "the worst Republican in the country" to run against Obama? They're hoping you don't. And acting like it never happened _ even though most of their words are just clicks away online. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)
