Sounds like the bloom is off the rose for this self proclaimed Tea Party governor, 30-40 people showed up for her Columbia SC rally. Pictures at the below link. It's all over the news here, even the local Fox station had it as their lead story this morning.

Tough week for Tea Party ends with fizzling rally - S.C. Politics - TheState.com (http://www.thestate.com/2011/05/20/1825938/tough-week-for-tea-party-ends.html - broken link)

You would think in blood-red SC there would be more than this for a turnout.

[LEFT]But about 30 people were on hand Thursday to thank Gov. Nikki Haley, lawmakers and activists for their work to require more on-the-record Legislative votes.

The question is, why more peopld wouldnt show up to support this.. Isnt that the very thing Obama said we were going to have in Washington and the left cheered, now its suddenly a bad thing..

No one listened to Obama drone on the other the day about the Middle East.

In fact hundreds of tv watchers were injured when they immediately ran for their clickers to change the channel when they realized Obama was live and words were coming out of his mouth.

The article was about Trump headlining the rally, a celebrity, world famous entepreneur and potential presidential candidate canceling after the rally was scheduled. It wasn't about the failure of Nikki Haley and the tea party.

Did you think only T-party members would show up to see Trump?

little does it matter but Nikki Haley is of Sikh religion and of India origin. Bobby Jindal (LA governor) is of Hindu religion and again of india origin.

Not surprising, the tea party turnouts have been laughable at best lately.
