While hiring Rollins is not necessarily the best decision for campaign strategy execution you seem to forget that Jack Kemp hired Rollins in 1996 for his own presidential run.

Ah, yes. Followed, in turn, by the Kemp Inauguration, and two four-year terms for the fabulously successful Kemp administration. ;)

I didn't imply that Rollins was successful with Kemp's primary. In fact I started out by saying he is possibly also not the best adviser for Bachmann -- if in fact she's taken him on as an adviser in the real sense at all.

My point was this: should Kemp's judgment be called into question for his choice even as the self-ordained potentates of what is supposed to pass for "good judgment" around here dive at Bachmann for her strategy of choosing Rollins at this moment?

Kemp had his reasons, Bachmann has hers. Will you deny that he was selected as Dole's running mate, and if Dole was a credible opposition force and not another McCain-like personality, Kemp (like Palin) could have actually served as Vice-President?

Some here on FR have knives out for Bachmann for some reason, and are trying to assert that her pick of Rollins is a lapse in judgment. I happen to think her plan is alot better formed than alot of posters here who claim to be so "informed."

I submit that they don't think strategically and know squat; they fall for media invented stories about alleged personal friction between Bachmann and Palin, and the media just laughs as they play the conservatives for fools chasing their tails.

This is one pretty smart and gutsy lady. Strategically thinking in the context of moving ahead the Tea Party agenda, I think she's head and shoulders above any of the couch potato snipers who show up around here, intent on slinging their barbs.

FReegards!
