Michele Bachmann's status as frontrunner in the Republican presidential race appears to have faded, but the Minnesota congresswoman is already tapping some of her peers as potential vice presidential picks.
The candidate, in a Thursday interview with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren, didn't shy away from naming potential running mates - among them real estate mogul-turned-reality TV star and perennial possible presidential contender Donald Trump.
She also mentioned fellow presidential candidate Rick Santorum, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and conservative South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint as possible picks for her cabinet or VP slots.
"I think that Rick Santorum is a wonderful man personally, but also, I think that he's very gifted when it comes to the area of legal issues," Bachmann told Van Susteren. "And I think I could see him as an attorney general. I think he'd do a great job. I haven't talked to Rick about that, but I think he'd be wonderful, or another cabinet position." I think that he'd also be on my short list of people that I would consider for my VP.
When asked who she might name from the list of non-presidential contender, Bachmann said "We've got a lot of wonderful candidates who would fit that bill."
"Easily comes to mind I think would be Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina. Marco Rubio of Florida certainly would be in that category. There's a lot of great people out there. And Donald Trump is someone that I think a lot of people would be intrigued," she said.
Bachmann, who has met with Trump a handful of times throughout the course of her campaign, stressed the urgency of the 2012 election.

Trump is an a$$h@le,and Bachmann is a lightweight, obviously.
I wonder if the scenery on Planet Bachmann is as pretty as it is in our real world. Someone should ask her at the next debate.LOL!
>> Good God, get OVER yourselves, people.
You go first. Show us how it’s done.
What I have against Perry is his look-the-other-way policy on the illegal aliens who are flooding Texas. Boots on the ground is not enough if there are magnets such as jobs with HEB Grocers, Perry Builders and others who are hiring illegals with their fake social security cards. Don’t forget all of the welfare including the thousands of illegals’ babies being born at Parkland Hospital. The people of Texas and the rest of the country are paying for this.
Remember Aunt Zetuni, the aunt of Barack Obama, who came to the United States illegally and go herself a subsidized apartment in Boston along with other welfare benefits. You can bet that millions of illegals are getting these benefits with their fake social security cards. Dishonest employers are benefiting from the cheap labor while the taxpayers pick up the bill for their welfare, education and hospital bills. Meanwhile the Texas legislature looks the other way. People in Texas are being deceived. Don’t forget how George W. Bush abandoned the American people for his adoration of the wonderful Hispanic illegals.
Well for starters, d**khead, I don’t excoriate anyone for hypothetically discussing or brainstorming ideas on anything.
Anything else you want to talk about, sport?
Get over *yourself*, c**tface. You have neither the brains nor the persuasive skills to order ANYONE around. Sport.
