Bachmann’s office confirmed Wednesday morning that she has accepted an invitation to speak at the First National Tea Party Convention at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville Feb. 4-6. She’s been booked as one of the breakfast speakers.

An unabashed conservative running for her third-term in Minnesota’s Sixth District next year, Bachmann has become something of a folk hero in the Tea Party movement that coalesced in town hall meetings last summer against the Democrats’ health reform plans, which they see as a massive government takeover of the health insurance business.

Bachmann drew a crowd of thousands to the U.S. Capitol on Nov. 5, a demonstration of both her popular and fundraising appeal outside the normal machinery of the Republican Party.

The First National Tea Party Convention could also be a sign of the Tea Party Nation’s growing organizational strength. The convention brings together a host of conservative groups, including the National Taxpayers Union, American Majority, Smart Girl Politics, and SurgeUSA.

The most important question is, what is the 6th CD getting out of this trip? This entire convention has an astroturf feel to it.
