The falling out between Michele Bachmann and her former campaign manager Ed Rollins continues — he told ABC News on Monday that Bachmann is "running out of money and ideas" and doesn't have enough of either to win in Iowa.

Rollins, who left Bachmann's campaign in September, said he didn't want to spend time "fighting with a candidate who wouldn’t listen and had no money.”

“She’s still saying the same things she said in the first the debate," Rollins told ABC. "There’s no substance. She says, ‘I’m going to repeal Obamacare.’ But she’s been saying that from Day 1. I told her: That’s your Tea Party speech, now you have to say what you’re going to do next.”

Rollins said Bachmann also told him that she wanted to campaign in several early states like New Hampshire and South Carolina, not just Iowa, which was Rollins's suggestion. Since the Iowa straw poll, Bachmann has made campaigning in and winning Iowa her top priority.

3. I love this sentence

7. Especially the "no money" part

Campaign advisors don't work for free, and Rollins doesn't impress me as the kind of guy who's going to do anything without a hefty paycheck attached.

The party based entirely on marketing ploys and sound bites, and is on the other side of Jupiter from good governance is complaining about a candidate's lack of substance?!?!?

10. Rollin's is establishment GOP

I wonder if he was ever really on her team or if his job was to make sure her campaign never got off the ground? I really can't figure why he'd have been interested in seeing her as his Party's nominee...just too far "out there" for TPTB in the GOP.

11. Campaign staff find it easy to mave around

Sigh. I miss Paul Wellstone.
