Bachmann Hires GOP Insider to Run Campaign and He Promptly Trashes....Palin?

Michele Bachmann apparently wants to be president and thinks hiring a GOP insider like Ed Rollins is the answer.  However, Rollins is off to a rocky start.  Instead of going after the real enemy, Obama and his policies, he immediately attacked Sarah Palin who at this point isn't a candidate for anything.

William Jacobson opines on Rollins and Bachmann's bad decision:

Hiring Rollins was a mistake. In order to have a chance, you will have to unite the non-establishment wing of the party behind you, and you lose a big chunk of that base when your campaign spokesman trashes Palin.

Additionally, the Democrats and their supporters are going to Palinize you, and already have started. Having your campaign spokesman engage in the same sort of rhetoric against Palin simply legitimizes the tactic, and will hurt your campaign.

Please take advice from someone who likes you. Dump Rollins overboard now, before it's too late. . . .

Hiring Rollins . . . could be campaign killing. The people who hate Palin are the same people who hate Bachmann, and no amount of trashing of Palin by Rollins will change that. Bachmann needs to focus on building, not tearing down.

When will Republicans realize that attacking each other simply emboldens Obama and gives ammunition to the Democrat party? We don't need at help them defeat Republicans by undermining each other's campaigns.

Don't tell us how bad our fellow Republicans are, tell us what you'll do to undo the damage Obama has done to the country and why electing you would be better than re-electing Obama.  We're all supposed to be on the same side here.
