Blackburn Mulling a White House Bid

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) will consider running for president in 2016 — “if she sees an opportunity to do so,” an aide told RealClearPolitics.

“Blackburn is scheduled to be one of the speakers at a New Hampshire Republican rally this weekend but was not previously known to be mulling a White House bid… Blackburn is a staunch social and fiscal conservative who was first elected to Congress in 2002, and a presidential run by her would be a long shot by any measure.”
