How Will Bachmann's Departure Affect Politics?  Tea Party
favorite Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has announced she's
won't run for re-election. But what does the news mean for the
Tea Party movement, and the rest of the GOP? Host Michel Martin
discusses this and other political news with Republican
strategist Lenny McAllister and The Root's Keli Goff.    I'm
Michel Martin, and this is TELL ME MORE, from NPR News. Later in
the program, we will meet with actress and producer Rita Wilson.
She says passing the big 5-0 has liberated her from her creative
rut and is editor-at-large of the Huff/Post50 website. She's now
launching a new literary section and inviting other
50-somethings to get those creative juices flowing. She'll tell
you more about that in just a few minutes.  But first, we want
to start with the week's political news. There's been a lot
going on. Minnesota representative and Tea Party favorite and
one-time presidential candidate Michele Bachmann announced that
she will not run again for Congress.
