Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, a tea party favorite who in the last month has been named as a possible 2012 presidential contender, will be in South Carolina on Feb. 19 and will be featured in a Spartanburg event that evening. Bachmann will speak at a lunch meeting of the South Carolina Federation of Republican Women in Columbia, and the Spartanburg County Republican Party will host a reception and dinner for her. Bachmann spokesman Doug Sachtleben said the trip, in part, was aimed at “mobilizing the grassroots to be active in the process of selecting a new president.”
