Rep. Michele Bachmann is in Hawaii Wednesday to speak at a sold out luncheon for the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, a limited-government think tank.

The group Bachmann is addressing bills itself as the "only free market think tank in Hawaii." On its website, the Grassroot Institute advertises Bachmann as a "potential 2012 presidential candidate" and mentions her State of the Union rebuttal.

For Bachmann, who is said to be weighing a White House run, the Hawaii speech is just one of several stops she's made outside of Minnesota in recent weeks.

Last month, Bachmann began fueling presidential speculation with her visit to Iowa, the first-in-the-nation presidential caucus state. Last week, she was in California with some of her House GOP colleagues for a meeting of the Republican Study Committee. And Bachmann is headed to Montana on Saturday to speak at the Montana GOP's Lincoln-Reagan dinner.

The cost of Wednesday's Hawaii event for attendees is $35, including lunch.

One upside of visiting Hawaii in February: The weather there is warmer by a factor of 10. It's 80 degrees and sunny today in Honolulu versus 8 degrees and sunny in Stillwater, where she resides.
