Ed Rollins slams Palin and praises Bachmann
2012 Presidential Election - News, Analysis, Candidates, Polls - POLITICO.com:
"Speaking of Ed Rollins, he begins his first day on Team Bachmann trashing the woman she's often contrasted with, Sarah Palin, in a way that's favorable to his candidate,via Ben:
'Sarah has not been serious over the last couple of years,' Rollins told Brian Kilmeade on his radio show, Kilmeade and friends. 'She got the Vice Presidential thing handed to her, she didn't go to work in the sense of trying to gain more substance, she gave up her governorship.'
He suggested that the contrast would favor Bachmann.
'Michele Bachmann and others [have] worked hard, she has been a leader of the Tea Party which is a very important element here, she has been an attorney, she has done important things with family values.'
'She is probably the best communicator [in the GOP field] now that Mike Huckabee's not in there,' he said.
Rollins has long been skeptical of Palin, but his new role with Bachmann suggests that criticism will become part of her campaign, though she has publicly praised the former Alaska governor."
