As a guest on the Hugh Hewitt Show Tuesday evening, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker strongly suggested that he will be a candidate for president in 2016, "I feel that there’s a reason God put me in a spot to do the things that we’ve done and take on the kind of challenges we’ve done."

Governor Walker is considered by some a strong candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. He is a Midwestern governor in a blue state who has taken on the unions and thanks to a recall election has won three elections in four years, so it was logical for Hewitt to ask Walker his intentions:

Hewitt: Now let me ask you the key question for the national audience, Governor. I want to talk about Wisconsin, but people want to know. Have you ruled out a run in 2016?

Walker: Oh, absolutely not. I mean, it’s one of those where I very much believe that our next president should be a governor. And I think you look at the mess in Washington, and you realize we need leaders from outside of our nation’s capital, and we need people who have been successful. And I think with what I’ve had to go through in the last four years, both politically, but also in terms of the policies, certainly I feel that there’s a reason God put me in a spot to do the things that we’ve done and take on the kind of challenges we’ve done. And it’s certainly something I’m going to take seriously, and really look at it closely over the next month or two.

Hewitt: When do you think you have to decide by, Governor Walker?

Walker: I think any candidate that’s going to be serious, by mid-year in 2015, has to be in the race. I mean, I just was sworn in yesterday. Next week, I’m going to give my state of the state. By the beginning of next month, I’ll have given my budget address, introduce our next two year budget, which will continue lowering property taxes, expanding school choice, lowering the size of government, reducing the number of state employees, lowering out debt, doing all the things that you’d expect a good common sense conservative to do. And once we’ve done that, I think it puts me in a perfect position to see if this is the right calling.

When a potential candidate says "there's a reason God put me in the spot...to take on the kind of challenges we've done" it's a loud hint that he will be running. On Sunday evening another potential GOP candidate Mike Huckabee brought up God to hint at his own run, saying, "But I also realize that God hasn't put me on earth just to have a good time."
