And I say this as a Bachmann supporter.
Of course I'm also a Palin supporter which makes this whole episode even more disconcerting.
I dropped Michelle Bachman a comment on her website re bashing Sarah Palin. Her campaign will be dead in the water within a week unless she cans that guy and publicly apologizes. Nobody disses Sarah Palin and gets my vote.

MB does need to dump Rollins immediately, I agree. If she does, there will still be the issue of what it was inside of Bachmann that allowed her to make this huge mistake in the first place.
Putting aside the stalking horse theory, which I find interesting - but do not buy into just yet - one has to wonder how she could hire someone who has been so openly disdainful of her core constituency. What was she thinking? And will that kind of thinking be gone by reversing this mistake?
Rollins is a poor manager, he’s past his prime
I bet Rove or Romney are paying for him.
Rollins’ first move out of the gate- attack Sarah Palin?
Go negative on other republicans and conservatives?
This is an example of Bachmann’s judgement in selecting associates?
Why not just hook up with Nicole Wallace and the McPain loooser team?
Being inside the beltway brings on a debilitating ego disorder, doesn’t it :-(
I dump Ed Rollins every morning.
I’ve already said this a number of times...
Ed Rollins is an idiot!
Comparing Palin to Bachmann is like comparing a WW-II Normandy vet to a state-side Fort Dix recruit! Period!
I Read Ed Rollins’ book. Very funny. The funniest part had to do with Frank Sinatra.
That's the entire problem here - you have a near-complete overlap of Palin and Bachmann support. What on earth is Bachmann thinking by allowing an attack dog to get after Palin? She is dissing her own base in the process. You don't enlarge a coalition by knifing your base to get more supporters from elsewhere.
(backstabber poser RINO-Bachmann):
"Oh, how I love you, Mitt.
Mission accomplished.
Now treat me like Kerry Healy. Or Seamus. Or the Maucks."
No, let him stay for another month or so. When she finally fires him, Sarah will be in the lead and it will boil down to a Palin-Romney primary fight.
If brother killing brother is “fratricide”, is this “Sororicide”?
Michele Bachman was always my second choice in online GOP presidential polls until she fires Ed Rollins my second choice will now become Herman Cain.
If she doesn’t fire him TODAY she’s toast in my opinion.
The first mistake Michele made was running for president. The second was pitching herself as a constituionalist/originalist and then putting Lexington and Concord in the wrong state. The Ed Rollins disaster merely clinched what should already be clear:
The next “smart” thing she will do is drop out of the race for a nomination she has no shot of winning.
and wipe my Obama.
Bachmann needs to drop out now. She has NO chance.
What did Rollins say about Frank?
