Ed Rollins, former campaign manager and current "informal adviser" to Rep. Michele Bachmann, told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell moments ago that Bachmann doesn't have the "ability or the resources" to go beyond Iowa.
Rollins stopped working for the campaign day-to-day earlier this month in a staff shakeup, and criticized her comments on the HPV vaccine last week.
Rollins said Texas Gov. Rick Perry's entrance into the race undercut her campaign, and that she was unprepared for the national stage running as a congresswoman.

Yeah, and he had another job as well...using Bachmann as the tool:
Gosh I bet she is so pleased with her choices now. Pfft...Bachmann has this coming. Not a word when this maggot attacked Palin; which imo is acceptance and approval.
Good riddance Michele.
Yeah, she’s out of money and out of luck.
They try any dirty tricks with her and IT'S WAR!
Well we saw this coming. Bachmann was politically dead the day she decided to announce. Rollins was just the final nail in her coffin.
It’s been open war ever since I first saw that piece last fall. I have no loyalty to the GOP anymore, but I’ll follow Sarah Palin through hell and back if need be.
I, for one, won’t miss her. She is not ready for prime time, and was the first to bring out the long knives against those who still have a shot at the nomination. I would support her for Speaker, however.
This field needs to be narrowed to Perry, Romney, Gingrich, and Palin, if she decides to run, so we can hear them at length during debates.
Come on....you FR folks bashing Rollins should quit the whining and look in the mirror. NO LEADER FAILS because of his/her underlings.
Bachmann was a lighweight firebrand and now she is proven to be a disastrous candidate. Get over it and give up on Rollins.
And, boosts Romney by bashing Perry....Yep, we need her in the Primary as long as possible. Come on now...
Don't worry, there is more than enough hate for Michelle on this forum.
Hey all you haters out there, if you're going to demonize and call names, INCLUDE WHO YOU SUPPORT. Bunch of Ron Paul people have infested the forum.
With friends like that-he seems to be a hack! She made a BIG mistake hiring him. Talk about being done, that’s Ed Rollins.
Yes, you did.
A shame Sarah Palin didn't run instead of Bachmann. Nothing against Bachmann but a former governor has a better chance to win the Presidency over a Congresswoman.
“Did we not say that it was a huge mistake for Bachmann to hire Rollins? “
Right, but if a candidate makes bad hiring decisions, it puts his/her executive capability into question. Bachmann has Kamikazi’d her campaign.
I am all for Rollins joining the obama campaign now.
Oh, I meant this forum. Unbelievable hatred. But I think it’s Perry people, not Paul. (What’s with the “P’s”?)
So who is your guy Outlaw?
With a record like that ... he’s the Republican Bob Shrum. So if Rollins Republican and Shrum Democrat run against eachother who wins? The third party guy?
Bob has an amazing record of losing races, but Bob doesnt trash talk the people who paid his bills. I dont care what Rollins thinks, I cant believe any candidate would hire him after seeing what he does to prior candidates.
All these arm-chair quarterbacks are disgusting.
Do you people think Palin wouldn’t have had a misstep by now if she were running? Spare me the righteous indignation...

-——a bunch of unsubstantiated speculation-——
It has been said before and guess what, here it is again. It is neither unsubstantiated nor speculation. If not all gone or dripping in dribbles, her money has dried up like spit on a Texas Hiway
Your point is very well taken. There are already major Palin-haters on this site.
