He also stated that it's legitimately a Romney/Perry race with them being the leaders in the poll and leaders in money and that Michelle Bachmann is the third person in the race and that she should think of it as a marathon and a long time before voters decide who get's the nomination. Rollins also noted that Bachamnn was returning this fall back into Congress

Bachmann starts campaigning early, now going broke.

Sarah Palin holds off, waits until Americans paying attention. Money is ready to come in.

Not until the fat lady sings, as they say...

If Perry does crash and burn I would hope that Palin step in.

Gosh, I'm really surprised that Rollins would badmouth Bachmann after leaving her campaign. He's never done anything like that before. /sarc

I thought MB had a sizable 2012 Facebook page...can’t seem to find it. All I see is small FB pages.

Hmmm! Rollins tone sounds like the Bachmann's campaign is about to fold...

Rollins sure has a knack for associating with losing campaigns.

A Palin/Rubio ticket would be unstoppable.

But Michelle has a lot better hair than either of these shoe salesmen.

It is so early, the press hasn’t even worked over the candidates yet, if everyone drops out what will we do when our top candidate is ripped to shreds in a scandal?

They need to work though the primaries.

All I can say is that anytime a campaign manager PUBLICLY admits money issues then that said campaign is about to fold.

And Rubio's eligibility in 2020?

We do NOT want another situation like in 2008 where the VP was not going to (or could not) run.

Is he legal to be President?

She’s not only a good person, but she has been one of the top three in various polls. Did you hear her speak at the debate/forum today? Very impressive.

Ed Rollins is a hack and a backstabber.

He should know that on Labor Day in ‘07, President Guiliani had it all locked up, too, and he was followed in the polls by the favorite Fred Thompson.

It’s Perry. He’s got it. Everyone knows it. Even Romney. It’s over.

From the Conventional Wisdom Wayback Machine, circa 2008: It's Giuliani. He's got it. Everyone knows it. Even Romney. It's Over.

Michelle should never have hired this bozo. He’s not conservative and he’s completely untrustworthy.

It’s not Rollins’ fault that Perry got in.

“It’s Perry. He’s got it.”

You could have said that about Fred Thompson at this point in time, 4 years ago.

When will folks learn that there are so many surprises, and even upsets, in politics?
