As Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) mulls a presidential bid, she told MinnPost that "she's gone cover-to-cover on The Politician, a book written by a former John Edwards staffer that details the lengths Edwards went to in order to cover up an affair even as his wife was fighting a recurrence of cancer. She also read Game Change, an in-depth account by a pair of veteran political reporters of the 2008 election that allegedly convinced South Dakota Sen. John Thune's wife that she wanted no part of a presidential bid."
