Michele Bachmann is disputing comments by her former campaign manager Ed Rollins, who declared that she does not have the resources to compete against Rick Perry and Mitt Romney past Iowa.
On Monday, Rollins said during an appearance on MSNBC: “If she somehow for some reason could win Iowa than she could get another look. Right now she’s competing hard in Iowa. She doesn’t have the ability or the resources to go beyond that, Iowa, at this point in time, where Perry and Romney with lots of money can go into South Carolina, Arizona, Florida and other places.”
Now, the Los Angeles Times reports:
“We do not agree. We have sufficient resources to be able to do what we’re doing and that’s to be very competitive in this race,” Bachmann said, noting that she had recently spent time in Arizona, California, Florida and South Carolina. “We’ve been all over the United States, and we intend to compete and go forward.”
Bachmann made the comments during a campaign trip in Des Moines, Iowa.
