Top Bachmann Campaign Staff Are Fleeing

It's no secret that I want to see Michele Bachmann's GOP presidential campaign effort crash and burn (hopefully, Rick Perry will follow a similar downward trajectory soon). Thus, I am hardly saddened to hear that Bachmann seems to having an exodus of top advisers from her campaign. Admittedly, things can change, but one can only hope that Bachmann's campaign will ultimately transform itself into a irreversible death spiral. The woman is toxic and an idiot. Politico looks at Bachmann's staffing problems. Here are some highlights:

On the heels of our report that Michele Bachmann campaign manager Ed Rollins is stepping back into an advisory role, citing health concerns, comes word that his deputy, David Polyansky, is leaving the campaign.

"I wish Michele nothing but the best, and anyone who underestimates her as a candidate does so at their own peril," Polyansky told POLITICO.

But a GOP source familiar with the situation said that Polyansky had "strategic differences on the path forward" with the candidate, who has struggled to gain traction in the last few weeks.

Bachmann is known for having had an unusually large number of staffers from her congressional office depart in a short time frame, although a campaign spokeswoman said they'd always planned on restructuring.
