Veteran Republican campaign strategist Ed Rollins, who signed on to steer Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann's looming presidential bid, said his recent criticism of Sarah Palin is not part of an electoral strategy.

But the former CNN contributor said he needs to adjust from "being a political analyst back to being a strategist."
"I don't think Palin runs and if she does we will deal with it. There obviously is a trend in the media to link them," Rollins told CNN. "In the long run we want Palin and her people as our allies."
In an interview with POLITICO, Rollins said the Bachmann campaign will be "so much more substantive."
"People are going to say, 'I gotta make a choice and go with the intelligent woman who's every bit as attractive,'" Rollins said.

Memo to Rollins: Drop dead.
I prefer Bachmann but don’t trust Rollins.
That said I do agree that Palin needs to work with Bachmann and Cain of she enters the race. To use NASCAR terminology, a 3 car draft is fast.
This ought to put to rest any suggestion that Rollins is a loose cannon. MB is firmly behind him.
Drop dead, indeed. You will NEVER get me as an ally now. I love Sarah Palin, and if ‘we can’t all work together’ to get the Marxists out of the White House, then we will have to work separately.
I liked Bachman very much up until yesterday; now I doubt her good sense in hiring Ed Rollins and, if forced to chose, I will chose Sarah any day. And anyone who disses Sarah Palin can jump in the swamp.
Dittos on the “Drop Dead”. If I were Sarah...I would try to hire Rush Limbaugh as her Campaign manager. Or at the least as her advisor.

What an arrogant creep.
Huge miscalculation,.......BY BACHMAN! We already knew Rollins was a total POS!
Kiss my arse running, Rollins. You diss Palin and then want her supporters to fall in behind your pathetic self?
Seriously, on what planet has this moron been living the last couple of years?
I’m disgusted.
I would not fret. Once Sarah gets in, it is a complete game changer.
If and when she gets in it....she will be in it to win it. Sarah also has millions upon millions of us “little Davids” just waiting for her to give to word “GO!”.
America will NEVER know what hit them!
The tail is demanding that the dog wag itself.
The Bachmann/Rollins “strategy” is to destroy Palin within the GOP, that is a suicide strategy for conservatives, and Bachmann, Romney/Rove can win with Bachmann/Rollins help.
Did Romney’s man Cantor make a deal with Bachmann?
Memo to Rollins: Drop dead.....and STFU!!!!
You Palin haters REALLY love Ed Rollins???????????????????? Geeze, you people need to get a life! Rollins isn’t a loose cannon,??????????..............I’m still rolling on the floor laughing my ass off! You Palin haters slay me!
Except that Rollins is the portion of the dog directly below the tail.
Rollins worked for Ross Perot.
