I just saw that interview on Piers Morgan and I'm not sure if we should read too much into it.

Romney obviously won't pick someone as unqualified as Bachmann, and who even Republicans don't like (she finished 5th in Iowa).

She has a few screws loose and would turn away Independents the way Palin did. (and Bachmann also has some vulnerabilities when it comes to her spouse, but that's another topic).
