Wow. I guess Ed Rollins will take work where he can find it.
As she prepares to enter the race in Iowa later this month, Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has signed on high-profile political strategist Ed Rollins to run her presidential campaign, according to two sources close to Bachmann.
Rollins, who was Mike Huckabee’s national campaign director in the 2008 campaign, is an experienced political operative with a well-earned reputation for his tough tactics and willingness to play hardball. He’s probably best known for running the 1984 Reagan-Bush reelection campaign, which Reagan won in a landslide.
That’s why they call these guys ‘mercenaries.’ For a conservative, the drop-off from Reagan’s 1984 campaign to Michele Bachmann’s 2012 freak-show is…I don’t even know how to describe the drop-off.
But Bachmann’s got a pro. How long Rollins can take it is another matter. Imagine the anxiety he will have every moment of every day. I wonder if Rollins will bring Chuck Norris along for the ride.
