So ... you’re upset that Rollins is “bashing” Palin, yet you in turn bash Bachman?

I have never bashed Bachmann. I have said that her choice of Ed Rollins is a huge mistake, but I don't think that's bashing. If Palin doesn't run, I might support Bachmann, especially if she dumps Rollins.

I don't bash Tea Party members. I will bash Ed Rollins, however, who is not a Tea Party member.

When will Sarah run, or will she even run?

I don't know. Here's a post about that I wrote more than a month ago essentially saying there is no real hurry because she already has name recognition and a ready-made organization in the Tea Party, and she can save money and energy and not expose herself to attacks by waiting.

I have since vacillated. Sometimes I think it would be best if she didn't run because the Tea Party needs her to publicly lead the cause as she did in 2010. The party would suffer if there was no one to do that in 2012. Plus, it's like your queen in chess. She is the most powerful piece, but if you expose her, the opposition will attack and maybe destroy her. She needs to very careful about picking her spots.

But now, given the field, I think the Tea Party's best chance is for her to get the nomination and win the presidency.

Again, no hurry for a decision.
