A month after Michelle Bachmann’s campaign manager departed, pollster Ed Goeas and senior advisor Andy Parrish have given their two weeks notice. Bachmann’s remaining staffers insist that this isn’t a sign that she’s having trouble finding donors, or that the nation’s fling with the slightly more credible but equally terrifying Sarah Palin is finally drawing to a close. Supposedly Parrish is leaving to spend more time with his family, and according to one staffer, Goeas is no longer needed because “Doing a lot of polling is not what you do in Iowa.” Theoretically, she may want to run another poll in the next year or so, but she doesn’t need Goeas since soon she’ll be using the pollster of whatever dude asks her to be his VP.
