You can do both.
If she would have made that statement the establishmedia would have been outraged and we would have been loving her and would have vaulted her into the lead. She had a meatball served up and watched it go by. Rather she gave the same old tired ain’t he great lines that lost the election last time.
The reason she is in the lead is because she is a firebrand and her advisers turning her into a politician aint’ going to work.
Give the people a reason to vote for you rather than agaist whoever.
Calling the elected U.S. president ‘unAmerican’ is a perfect way to kill your campaign.
No offense to anyone and I like Michelle Bachmann.
The problem today is Bachmann as president will make decisions. Her hiring and using Ed Rollins shows she made a bad decision, at least once. But this once is important.
I have worked a campaign with Rollins and we got our tails destroyed. His advice was horrible and it showed daily as we were trying to get our guy elected. The attack on Palin is simply one of Rollins signature strategies to demonize the opposition when the truth would have worked. The man is a snake and I would not want to be associated with any campaign that uses him.
