Michele Bachmann campaign chair and Iowa state senator defects to Ron Paul

"If you are as frustrated as I am with what's been done by the ruling class, I urge you to join me in supporting Dr. Paul," state Sen. Kent Sorenson said in a statement sent out by Paul's campaign.

Sorenson is "leaving his post as Iowa chairman for U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign here," according to the statement. "The resignation and endorsement take effect immediately."

Sorenson's announcement seems to be a total surprise to the Bachmann campaign. He appeared at a Paul rally in Des Moines just a few hours after appearing with Bachmann at one of her events, according to The Washington Post's Dan Balz.

Sorenson is a Tea Party firebrand who was elected to the Iowa state senate in January after only one term in the state legislature. He owns a cleaning company and is father to six children. His decision to support Bachmann earlier this year was a big pickup for the congresswoman from Minnesota.
