RedState’s Eric Erickson isn’t sold on this “National Tea Party Convention” either:

Let me be blunt: charging people $500.00 plus the costs of travel and lodging to go to a “National Tea Party Convention” run by a for profit group no one has ever heard of sounds as credible as an email from Nigeria promising me a million bucks if I fork over my bank account number.

In case you missed it, Zack Roth had our report on the grumblings about this event among tea partiers and talked about it last night on Maddow’s show.
