Michele Bachmann campaign manager Ed Rollins is stepping into an advisory role and deputy manager David Polyansky is leaving the campaign, Rollins said Monday.
Rollins, who’s 68 and had a stroke a year and a half ago, cited health reasons for his decision.
"I just don't have the endurance to go 12 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week anymore," Rollins told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Monday.

Rollins said he still has great affection for Bachmann and pledged to give her counsel moving forward.
"At the end of the day, I'm not going away," Rollins said.....

That's the scuttlebutt. Evaporated after Iowa when Perry entered and stole her steam.
Sarah Palin has a dog?
Does the dog have a license?
Ever have worms? Fleas? Ticks?
Can the dog sit, stay and heel?
Is there still time to file a complaint against the former Governor of Alaska for her abuses in this area?
These are very important issues. Perhaps the Press has to do an in-depth investigation of Palin’s “Canine-Gate scandal?” George Stephanopolis will be leading the investigation.
If Bachmann were to bow out of the race, would she be more likely to throw her support to Palin or Perry? I’ve read about the affinity between Perry and Bachmann and she must believe she has a better chance of being VP nominee with Perry than she would in a potential all women ticket with Palin. My betting is that she bows out after a disappointiing fourth place in Iowa and throws her support to Perry.
Fine by me.
Rollins is a D ick, a Jackwagon and all around delusional, self absorbed loon, who has never delivered bottom line results.
I Love them
I personally believe that Rollins told Michele up front that Sarah was the elephant in the room, and that they had to go after her, and she agreed.
This is JMHO, I have no proof that this is the way it happened, but it fits with other things that MB camp has done.
2ndDivisionVet has it right on as usual!
Sarah Palin is no Ronald Reagan. At this juncture she has neither the breadth of experience nor the depth of reading and understanding that Reagan had. She has the same native charisma that Reagan had and in time she could become as formidable a leader as Reagan was - on her own terms, not merely as a copycat - but she’s got a lot more toiling in the fields to do before she can reach that point.
[I’m not sure Perry will stay the course.]
What makes you say that?
The issue is:
“Do the represent our Ideal?”
That is all I care about.
I was asked by a very high Dem donor what my problem was with a woman as president, in 2008.
To which I replied:
Couldn’t care less about gender but, that’s your issue.
However, you give me a Golda Mier, Jane Kirkpatrick or a Margaret Thatcher and that woman has not only my vote, but I will absolutely drain my bank accounts to support them.
But that's just me.
The Republicans have got to stop with the "It's my turn" method of nominating candidates for president. The result of this is often tired out warhorses like John McCain, Bob Dole and Jerry Ford who may have had more time "toiling in the fields" but invariably get crushed in the general election by a younger, less experienced but more dynamic candidate.
We don't need Palin to waste the next 20 years in the senate so she can run for office when she's 68. As great as Reagan was, imagine how much better our country would have turned out if he was elected in 1964 instead of 1980.
I suspect that’s just a lot of us! Rollins is a scummy political jerk, with no moral compass.
It’s the end of August, Friday. Can’t meet the payroll, that’s it. No mon, no fun, no campaign. Cut them lose.
Back to the battle, listen to the Viagra speech that will save the impotent president, vote on something to counter the speech. Life goes on.
To be honest, I thought that Obama was planning to spring that ploy on her in the first Presidential debate. I remember '08 jokes from the usual suspects comparing her to Dan Quayle.
I disagree with you that Palin would be wasting her time by toiling in the fields. For all her charisma, Palin is still more of a divider than a uniter; Reagan was a uniter, and it was precisely all the time that he spent toiling in the fields that taught him that skill.
A Palin Presidency right now would be like opening a good bottle of wine before it’s had the chance to age properly.
Berate SW Florida all you want but our grass roots team GOTCHA Marco Rubio.
I am just telling you what the current situation is on Sarah Palin in Florida. IMHO she woulld not carry the Sunshine State.
Interestingly, Bachmann, very much under the radar, has spent much of the late summer tending to family concerns. She sent two daughters off to college and assisted them both with moving in, from going to Walmart to buy supplies to lifting boxes. This was time away from the campaign, “home economics,” as one source put it, which she did gladly, but it was time, however brief, spent away from the trail. With her kids studying, expect her to travel to Iowa, South Carolina, and other early primary states at an even brisker pace.
Good for her..now it sounds like she's ready to kick it up a few notches.
I have yet to read were you have condemned Palin Bashers? That`s all I am saying! Wasn`t that long ago that you were among them.
But you have had a change of heart since seeing the UNDEFEATED...Amen!
That`s why I was so surprised and disappointed that since you posted the thread about how you are now for Palin 100% etc....You are now back to believing the worst, that she was payed over a hundred grand to speak in Iowa on Saturday, and that perhaps now she would be better of as Energy Sec or VP.
