This post is right on target. The decision reflects badly on Bachman and probably, all by itself, undoes her campaign. The only choice Bachman has is to fire him soon before he shoots off his mouth again. And that won’t undo the damage Rollins has already done to Michele’s previously solid reputation.

Mistake? I think not.

We have had enough of that with Obama.

THIS WAS PLANNED by Ms. Bachmann and Rollins.

They are NO LONGER WELCOME.

Good grief. Admit that Rollins was responding to a Palinbot’s contention that Michelle is great, but has no executive experience like Palin.

Michelle made no mistake.

I do not fault Rollin’s, he is what he is. I fault Michele; she is responsible for surrounding herself with quality people. She has demonstrated piss poor judgement.

Rollins is an idiot, never has won an election. For him to respond in a snarky way to Gov Palin’s correct statement is rediculous.

Well, it’s been said that Bachmann is a Palin “light”. I kind of agree with that... But if Palin runs, there’s no contest.

Okay, then tell us about Rep. Michele Bachmann’s executive experience and contrast it with Gov. Sarah Palin’s.

Actually, the first big mistake I heard she made was supporting the ethanolmsubsidy, an obviously purely political bribe offered to Iowa farmers. This position goes against the very rationale of her candidacy.

MB’s first mistake was selling her political soul to Myth Romney and agreed to dilute Sarah’s support in exchange for the VP slot.

Rollins is so sleazy I wouldn’t be surprised if he was working for the Romney campaign in secret. Hugh mistake Michele.

“People are going to say, ‘I gotta make a choice and go with the intelligent woman who’s every bit as attractive.’”

Incredible statement, he just denigrated Palin, Bachmann, the voters, and especially Republican voters, or at least any that he considers simpleton enough (to him evidently) to vote for either of the skirts, (which is probably his type jargon).

I think he doesn't like females in politics.

Michelle made no mistake.

True, Michelle pulled out her checkbook, called the infamous Ed Rollins, and special ordered this attack.

I checked in all day just to see if Bachmann had made any statements or taken any actions. Nothing.

Her silence tells me she approves of Rollins statements.
That being the case gives us more insight into who this former Jimmy Carter campaign worker and three term Congresswoman is.

Of all people, Gretchen Carlson, a morning Fox News anchor, used to have Bachmann as her babysitter back in the 70’s. Carlson has said she doesn't believe Bachmann is running for President, but rather Vice President. I guess we now know whom she wants to run with.

Off topic, but Palin’s strategy of waiting to declare might be another brilliant political move. In the past three weeks, we have witnessed three Presidential candidates shoot themselves in the foot. Romney (Mr. Global Warming), Gingrich (the anti-Ryan) and now Bachmann. At this rate, by the time Palin declares, there might be no one left to run against.

Nonsense.

Bachmann knows (as the article points out) that her base overlaps -- in fact, is the same as -- Palin's. The last thing she wants or needs is a feud with the Palin camp.

To think otherwise is to call her stupid -- which is, interestingly enough, just what Palin's detractors call her.

Really. I was wondering what his record was. Thanks.
