Ed Rollins, campaign manager for Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann Presidential run announced that he is stepping back into an advisory role, citing health concerns, as word of his deputy manager, David Polyansky, is leaving the campaign as well. Rollins was on Anderson Cooper's AC360 show on CNN and admitted that the entrance of Rick Perry has "slowed our money down" into the Bachmann campaign and took momentum out of her campaign

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

Even as a non-supporter of Palin, I agree with that statement. Bachmann and Palin would have been two swords in the same .... you know what!

I am of the opinion that this whole episode today / tonight is Ed falling on the sword for Bachmann’s weakness in fundraising and ultimately folding. He may actually be doing the “old wise man” thing.

Boy, am I sorry Palin didn’t lock up that key talent before Bachmann did.

BAD Rich!

Rollins slowed Bachmann’s money down.

I haven’t donated to her once since Rollins attacked Palin and she (bachmann) stood by with a lame answer a few days later.

I know, but I've been waiting for a chance to use your tagline on you for awhile. This looked like as good an opportunity as any. :-)

Cheers!

Everytime Ed Rollins has been hired by a politician to run their campaign, he has ended up stabbing his employer in the back. Everytime.

Guess the adage of “lay down with dogs and get fleas” was not on Bachmann;s reading list.

I didn’t even mention Bachmann, but if she has money troubles this early she is toast.

I truly believe that if Palin got in early that Bachmann would have been the attack dog against her with glee from the Establishment. Sarah was very wise not to step in so early.



Bachmann would have paid hell for doing that, except from the gleeful media and GOP-E, like you said. As it were, Rollins did for her and look what it got him and his client? Support for Michele dropped from Palin supporters who previously liked Bachmann a whole lot.

Heck, I was touting Sarah/Michele on my tagline for ages, until I changed it to the Palin ping list message, by popular demand and necessity, but Rollins turned me off and when Michele didn't denounce him for his nasty attacks on Palin, I was both shocked and terribly disappointed.

Palin remains very smart for not getting in yet! LOL. She is smarter than everyone else for not playing the lamestream media game and they (the MSM & GOP-E) all know it.

Michele should have just stuck a gun in her mouth and pulled the trigger. It would have been less painful than having Ed Rollins as her campaign manager.

Maybe she is following the McCain formula; running just to run; not to win.

Rollins made that statement about Palin months ago. Michelle’s campaign didn’t suffer for it. Her numbers even went up afterwards.

Her campaign suffered because of repeated gaffes the last few weeks, reports of diva-ish behavior and specifically Perry’s entry.

I don’t know Perry much, but ROMNEY IS A SOCIALIST!

RomneyCare = 0bamaCare.
