Apparently the Biblically qualified thing is old.  I found a story from 12/13.

Calling Bachmann "biblically qualified" to be president at a Statehouse news conference Tuesday, former state Rep. Danny Carroll of Grinnell, Iowa, said the group is calling on Christians in Iowa to back Bachmann's candidacy.

"She is capable. She is trustworthy. She fears God, and she hates dishonest gain," said Carroll, who was surrounded by a dozen members of the endorsing group he described as "Iowa faith leaders and pastors."...

...The Rev. Bill Tvedt of Oskaloosa said the criteria for a biblically qualified leader can be found in the book of Exodus.

"The Bible says we are to choose those who are men of truth, who hate covetousness and fear God," he said. "I believe that (Bachmann) is guided by principles, not political calculations. I believe that the leader of our nation has to be a person who will always tell the truth and do the right thing."

Carroll said Bachmann isn't necessarily the only biblically qualified candidate in the field but she "best meets" the qualifications.[1]
