Bachmann, too, says she prayed to God about her potential candidacy, which gave her a "sense of direction." (She is being only slightly more oblique about God's role in her political calculus than in 2006 when she declared: "God called me to run for Congress.")
Herman Cain, who is also seeking the Republican nomination, has said he interpreted a text message from his granddaughter as divine instruction. "I know that God was speaking to me through my granddaughter that this was something I've got to do," he said.
