““Right now, she’s competing hard in Iowa,” Mr. Rollins said. But, he added, “she doesn’t have the ability or resources to go beyond that, Iowa, at this point in time, where Perry and Romney can go into South Carolina, Arizona and other places.”
It was Rollins’ job as campaign manager to make sure that didn’t happen. Rollins is just looking to escape the blame for his own incompetence.
I've been wondering if she will be able to reclaim her virtuous reputation when she goes back to the House or if her choices and actions during this period of her life will haunt her forever.
I highly addmired and still do, Michelle’s tell it like it is attitude and conservative stances. But right from the beginning I had a little niggle about her pulling the Tea Party into a congressional caucus. Something in the back of my mind kept saying...is this really what we want? We’re not really a political party or aligned with a party. We’re we the people. And I didn’t think that isolating our newly chosen and elected representatives into their own group was a good idea. I thought maybe something like a ‘Constitutional Caucus’ might better represent a purpose and allow others to join. Even conservative democrats could join that, and God knows we need something to unite these folks on common ground.
And I kind of felt too that she was trying to claim Tea Party queenship (for want of a better word) from Sarah Palin whom we worked so closely with in the last election cycle. She was so good to point us in directions that needed help, and we could call on her if we saw somebody needed some help.
I never understood the Rollins thing, he was just UGH! But the debate shark attack looked almost like pure desperation and out of control.
In debates our candidates should niggle each other and point out differences, but to attack each other so snarkily like they did at that debate, just doesn’t look good for the party. They ALL needed to be pointing stronger to their differences from Obama so people will understand how united we all are for a republican to win the general.
I didn’t know until I read it here she was trolling for Romney VP. Not sure how I feel about that. Especially if she’s going to start trolling for him before the primaries. Then she’s lost me, altogether.
I agree but it was Newsweek.
The world would surely end if they drilled for oil in a swamp. Got it.
“Rollins is a backstabber, and it’s coming home to roost.”
And Rollins tells Big Lib Andrea Mitchell, who is always trying to destory conservatives, of all people.
Bachmann is better off without Rollins.
Run for office. Take that position. Good Luck.
Bachmann merely repeated what a woman had told her, and it was a plausible story at that:
“Gardasil Death & Brain Damage: A National Tragedy”
I would hire him to work for my opponent.

Just how safe is Gardasil? l see a lot of men on Fr say that Bachmann is belaboring the point, but is she really? Exactly what is the science? How accurate were those third world test results?
“Throw in that GSK, who makes the only vaccine that competes with Gardasil, has given Bachman thousands in donations, and she is dead meat.”
that would wipe out everything she was trying to say about Perry.
It’s up to parents to decide how safe it is, and do the research for themselves, not Big Government/Big Brother.
While some vaccines are good, we shouldn’t have to be innoculated at Big Brother’s every whim for any vaccine that comes along. Also, religious parents might decide that giving the vaccine to their daughters is like giving them permission to have relations outside of marriage.
And Bachmann’s principal gripe was Perry’s Executive Order.
Ed:
Pound it up your &*()& sideways and howl at the moon....
“I’m still not sure why everyone here is blaming this on Rollins. Rollins is being Rollins.”
Exactly. Don’t shoot the messenger.
She has not done well running for president and she needs to cut her losses to her political career as soon as possible. She won’t be able to recover in this race. She’s doing more damage to herself if she stays in at this point.
I still like her. I hope she can get re-elected to the House. The retard remark in the hands of the press is likely to haunt her. I missed the one where she said she would drill in the Everglades. Someone, tell me she did not say that!
“The world would surely end if they drilled for oil in a swamp. Got it. “
Drill baby drill! Except for here, here, here and don’t forget over here. Yeah we’re really going to end our dependence on foreign oil!
actually, from a political strategery perspective, hiring Rollins made perfect sense for MB. He is totally plugged into the IA Evangelicals like no one else. (what that says about IA evangelicals I leave up to you to decide) It was Rollins’s organizing the Evangelicals and their coming out (from nowhere, below the radar) to pull off the IA caucus win for Huckabee in ‘08.
But MB has totally flaked out beyond redemption over the past few weeks, the past week in particular. I can hardly wait for this week’s debate.
>>>It was Rollins’ job as campaign manager to make sure that didn’t happen. Rollins is just looking to escape the blame for his own incompetence.
I agree with you, oldbill.
