Michele Bachmann,  President 2012

President 2012: Michele Bachmann Selects Former Reagan and Huckabee Campaign Manager Ed Rollins

And, pundits have been focusing on Sarah Palin? Michele Bachmann IS going to run and is seriously staffing up.

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.

Rollins will run a campaign that already has a number of experienced advisors on board, including Brett O’Donnell, who advised George W. Bush and John McCain and is considered the best debate coach in politics. Bachmann also has brought on Bob Heckman, who is prominent in the conservative movement.

I don’t think Bachmann has been getting as much attention as an anti-Romney candidate. She can easily beat Mitt in Iowa and then continue the momentum with her Tea Party base into South Carolina.

I would not underestimate this Minnesota Congresswoman and former federal tax lawyer.
