Bachmann is not helping herself by hiring Mr. Ed.
He’s kill her. Why did she hire this guy anyway. He’s extremely anti-conservative.
Bachmann should dump Rollins NOW. He’s a total liability in every way.
How could any primary candidate pick him after he left the party to help Perot in 92?
For me, it’s not so much about what Rollins said, it’s that Bachmann hired this anti-conservitive in the first place. THAT is where the failure really began.
I don’t believe that Bachmann can dig herself out of this, and frankly, it doesn’t look like she’s even going to try.
MEMO TO ALL GOP PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS PRESENT AND FUTURE:
If you want to debate Sarah on the issues, we welcome that. But, don’t you dare diss her. Her supporters will come at you with a vengeance and we will send you home from the Primary process early to watch Sarah make her acceptance speech in Tampa, FL in August of 2012.
I am exceedingly disappointed in Michele’s judgement in this matter. I was hoping for much, much better from her. She says the right words, but then turns around and hires the same old tired insiders.
The last winning presidential campaign Ed Rollins was involved in was Reagan ‘84 and no one could have screwed that one up.
Rollins is, and pretty much always has been, a loose cannon and a beltway insider. We’re not going to win that way this time.
It’s a shame Michele couldn’t or didn’t see that. I have/had such high hopes for her. While this doesn’t eliminate her from potential status, she can’t make another stupid decision like this and stay in contention.
Bachmanns campaign manager has started a mini-war and Bachmann has not seen fit to do anything about it.
Its not unreasonable to think that Bachmann was unaware of Rollins previous anti-Sarah Palin columns/articles prior to her hiring him. Virginia Ridgerunner posted links and the titles to two yesterday or the day before yesterday.
Its also not unreasonable to think that Bachmann knew about his reputation when she hired him, so lets just say, he lived down to it right from the get-go and she has remained silent, and Rollins remains employed!
What good is a retraction or an apology? He still believes it.
If anything, Palin should welcome one of her potential opponents shooting herself in the foot.
Palin's response should be, "No comment", or "Ed who?"
Send Ed Rollins back to the swamp.
What a bloody smart-ass.
A Christian like Michelle has no business doing business with people like him.
She’s going the way of Gingrich unless she fires Rollins and definitively states that because of her serious difference of opinions with Mitt Romney’s platform, she would not accept an invitation to be his VP candidate should he win the GOP nomination.
Anything short of that merely confirms that she is Romney’s stalking horse intent on pulling the divide and conquer among the conservatives to allow Romney to win by plurality.
Enjoy the debate on Monday evening when she goes after Romney with kid gloves while Cain lands devastating body blows.
Oh, and this genius Rollins also says (in Feb 2010) that there are NO RINOS in the Republican party. You didn’t know that, did you? Well here it is, right from the horse’s mouth.
