Well it’s about time. This presidential race has been more boring than watching a chess match unfold between two octogenarians!
Things have gotten considerably more interesting as Bachmann and Palin’s people started snipping at one another. Bachmann is planning on officially announcing her candidacy when she kicks off her campaign this month in Iowa.
Palin seems to still be considering a campaign with her One Nation tour, but who knows what goes on between her ears? Now, it’s fight time as these two Conservative extremists reveal their claws.
It started with a war of words between their campaign managers.
The spat between their advisers began Tuesday when Rollins disparaged Palin in a radio interview. “Sarah has not been serious over the last couple of years,” Rollins said. “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.”
On Wednesday, Michael Glassner, Palin’s chief of staff, responded with a statement of his own: “Beltway political strategist Ed Rollins has a long, long track record of taking high profile jobs and promptly sticking his foot in his mouth.”
The fight between aides to two unofficial candidates is an indication that members of Palin’s team are no longer willing to sit idly by while other Republicans take digs at their boss. That shift could signal the beginning of an ugly war between the high-profile Palin and lesser-known rivals.
We can only hope. Someone has to infuse some energy in this campaign. Who cares if it’s negative energy?
