Bachmann's New Hampshire Staff: We Quit!

[William769]

It looks like Michele Bachmann's emphasis on the social issues needed to win Iowa is starting to get her in trouble with some Republicans. All of Bachmann's staff in New Hampshire has quit, according to a report from a TV station there.

Bachmann, who won the Iowa straw poll, has repeatedly touted her credentials as a social conservative who advocates against abortion and same-sex marriage. And that emphasis on winning Iowa voters had her five New Hampshire staffers questioning their state's importance to the candidate, reports WMUR.

This would be only the latest round of staff turnover for Bachmann. Earlier in the year, her campaign manager Ed Rollins left, followed by several other important players. Rollins is a regular on political news shows who is experienced at running presidential campaigns.

3. I have read this a few times and am still coming up with 2+2=5

What does her very public stance against women's rights and equal marriage have to do with how important New Hampshire is to her as a candidate. The campaign team just now getting cable up there and finding out what her platform is?

4. The quitters are probably not against her stances

However, they probably realize that the vast majority of NH Republicans think she's nuts, and she has not a prayer of winning. They were tired of embarrassing themselves.

NH Republicans are generally much different than Republicans in most of the rest of the country.

5. Seems odd to me though.

It isn't like her single-issue campaign has been a secret.

6. I'm thinking that since they are now attacking the pill

and birth control with the life at conception pact they all signed, many repubs that are closer to normal are saying no.
