Bachmann bunked at S.C. gov’s mansion
Michele Bachmann had some face-time with South Caroline Gov. Nikki Haley on Sunday night, dining with the governor and coveted endorser and staying over at the governor’s mansion, according to a source familiar with the get together.
It’s not the first time of late that Haley has appeared with Bachmann — she recently made a surprise showing at the presidential candidate’s town hall forum in the state.
The latest get-together came as Rick Perry, who is crowding out Bachmann in attention and with tea party activists, is holding a town hall in the Palmetto State with Rep. Tim Scott.
Representatives for Haley and Bachmann couldn’t immediately be reached.
But if Haley starts showing preference toward Bachmann in South Carolina, it could hurt Perry’s momentum in a state where he’s favored.
