Bachmann vs. Palin

Bachmann's surrogate Ed Rollins says Palin isn't serious. Freepers mostly attack Rollins, but the big thing is that Bachmann's Tea Party cashe is nothing before Palin's cult of personality:

longtermmemmory is done:

bachmen is officiall finished.

the ONLY reason for her in race is to be the “cat fight” distractor from the issues.

I hope we hear the sound of wallets closing in the face of backman.

miss marmelstein gets on her high horse:

She’s either Mrs. Palin or Governor Palin to you, Ed. Those of us who like and respect her can call her Sarah, you condescending male chauvinist big, you!

Minus_The_Bear thinks Bachmann is nothing, and has always been nothing:

Bachmann blew it for Bachmann.

She can barely win a district in MN. She held a "moneybomb" and barely raised $100,000.

She needs to go run for city council.

perfect_rovian_storm is not Bachmann's nemesis or something:

I’ll give her 24 hours more to fix this before I start an anti-Bachmann campaign. Won’t cost me a dime, but it’ll cost her dearly.

curth thinks doing nothing was another masterstroke by Palin.

Sarah is outsmarting all of them by staying out as long as she can and letting them eliminate themselves with their own words. This will damage Bachmann beyond repair as she was the second choice of many Palin followers.

penelopesire thinks Bachmann is now part of the RINO enemy.

Michele Bachmann is just a tool of the establishament GOP to try and keep Palin out of the race. That’s what my instincts have been saying ever since she got in the race. Romney has probably promised her the VP slot to boot if she divides the Tea Party base that want to vote for Palin. I am sad to say that I don’t trust her anymore. Not right now anyway
