If this presidential thing doesn't work out, maybe Michele Bachmann can eke out a living as an author? Or it could just be a sign that the Minnesota Republican is really running for president. Either way, her camp will neither confirm nor deny reports in the Huffington Post and in Politico that she's spent the past few days in New York meeting with major book publishers. That usually means the reports are true. Pundits are already eager to see how a Bachmann biopic might match up with one by Sarah Palin, another Tea Party doyenne who has been toying with the idea of running for president. Palin's "Going Rogue" reportedly sold more than 2 million hard covers.
