The New York Daily News notes that Rep. Michele Bachmann's (R-MN) recent statements about moving up her decision on a presidential run "are the clearest indication yet" that she's leaning toward a "yes" decision "and come as sources close to Bachmann say she's more likely to run now that Huckabee, who caters to the same social-conservative base, has pulled out."
