Yeah. Your right. There isn't anything like a GOP primary afoot or anything. I don't think anyone has ruined any chances for anything yet except for Newt. The majority of Conservative voters don't even know who Ed Rollins is and what he said. They are the ones who count in this Santorum, Bachmann, Palin and Cain battle.
Rollins is a Dick Morris wannabee with a big mouth and even bigger ego. Give him time. He will step in it again.
Truthfully, I must not know Bachmann well. Her hiring a guy like this perplexes me. Bachmann (I thought) was trying to convey an image of a Tea Party spokesman. Hiring Rollins will likely damage that image. Google him if you don't believe me. It seems this guy always finds controversy.
I'm intrigued by the politics of it but not really concerned about the outcome. I don't see a Congresswoman winning the Presidency given the history of Presidential elections. I don't see Cain or Santorum winning either. Of the three, I would give the best chance, small as it may be, to Santorum.
What do I know? Maybe history no longer applies? I would have bet the house that Obama wouldn't win either.
Bachmann hiring Rollins to go on the war path against Palin has caused Bachmann irreparable damage among conservatives, and benefit to Mitt Romney.
