Ed has to be fired.

Because she is doing to bidding of someone to make sure that either Palin doesn’t run or is damaged further when she does run.....think about this: Mitt said that he will take it easy until after Labor Day! Hmmm!

I agree. I think republicans are making a huge mistake if they think that they can win in 2012 by trashing Sarah Palin. It would be like a democratic candidate thinking he can win by trashing black people.

Sarah was always the one.

Michelle was just filling the vacuum.

Wow.......Newt Gingrich type of mistake

Makes me wonder how sharp she really is

I'd reserve judgment to see if she puts a muzzle on Rollins

And Sarah has the perfect name for the first woman President sorta like Sally Ride for being the first Free woman to fly in space

Make no mistake about it, he speaks for her.

“The way of the RINO”

“Hiring the same people that have resulted in the RINO infestation is the path to more RINOS and more RINO/Socialism.”

This isn’t too hard for a hick like me to figure out, so what does that say about MB? Looks like she’s part of the problem too.

I agree with all. Why would Bachmann hire Rollins?

Campaigns are odd things. I always anticipate an opponent taking on a candidate, yet in many cases the candidate take themselves out.

Bad decision by Bachmann (perhaps a purely naive move) and a possible campaign finisher, unless (as you posted) she fires Rollins pronto.

I dunno, but whatever happened happened over the Christmas break.

Remember she ran for the Republican Conference Chair position after the November election but Boehner and Cantor slapped her down. As a consolation, they assigned her to the House Intelligence Committee.

Bachmann to Intelligence Committee

Soon after (in January), Bachmann's staff appeared in South Carolina and Iowa and began slamming Palin during meetings with local GOP organizers and chairmen.

A deal was cut somewhere, and Bachmann's buddy Steve King was undoubtedly a part of it since he is pretty much her shadow.

Mitt / Bachmann .. just hope she’s a better shot than cheney.

ed rollins has become a bob shrumesque character, she probably got his services cheap.

oh well, that’s baseball.

I have not been happy with Michelle Bachmann.

She was a terrific force in congress for her last couple of terms, and I donated to her campaign last year. But since then, I have been disappointed. I expected her to lead the Freshman Tea Partiers in congress and put pressure on the leadership to honor the election.

Instead, she has pretty much dropped out of sight in her congressional dealings. Boehner has pulled one boner after another, and Bachman has done nothing to show him up.

Now she hires Ed Rollins. What that says to me is that she is “moving to the middle.” Very, very disappointing. We elected her for a reason, and she doesn’t seem to get it.

She is in too much of a hurry to climb the career ladder. I’m afraid that will simply make her another fading star, like so many others who just wouldn’t wait until they were ready and had EARNED it.
