Tea Party Group to Bachmann: Give Up

[Zyzfyx]

So much for that "Tea Party favorite" label.

The leader of a key Tea Party-affiliated group wants Michele Bachmann to call it quits and end her bid for the White House.

In a harshly worded statement posted on the group’s website Thursday, American Majority president Ned Ryun said that Bachmann’s campaign "has become less about reform and more about her personal effort to stay relevant and sell books," and that the longer the Minnesota Republican stays in the race the more damage she risks doing to the conservative movement.

As CNN, which first spotted the post, points out: American Majority operates in seven states, trains thousands of supporters and is "liked" by more than 371,000 people on Facebook. Its suggestion that Bachmann step aside is the first time a well-known Tea Party group has so publicly turned on one of its own during the presidential campaign.

9. Some candidates sell books in order to air the laundry before they run.

Also in order to get their name before the public during the book tour without buying tv ads

Both Obama and McCain did that.

Some candidates run (or pretend they are about to run) in order to sell books.

Cain, Palin, Bachman. They owe taxpayers for Secret Service protection.
