Michele Bachmann's paid staff in New Hampshire has reportedly quit en masse, and apparently they wanted to do it earlier but were afraid it would hurt her candidacy.

Michele Bachmann tells Fox News her presidential campaign will replace New Hampshire staff members who quit last week. She says she has focused more time on Iowa because its presidential caucuses precede the New Hampshire primary.

Most of the major candidates have applied in person; others have sent staff members. Michele Bachmann, however, has focused almost exclusively on Iowa, and her entire New Hampshire team recently up and quit. They said in a statement that they resent how the national team has treated them.

Staff departures are raising questions about the viability of the Minnesota Congresswoman's presidential campaign.

The former New Hampshire staffers say they have no ill will toward Bachmann herself, but they had much harsher words for her national team.

Sources tell Politico that Michele Bachmann's main campaign hub is now Des Moines, Iowa.

Ed Rollins tells MSNBC that Michele Bachmann doesn't have the "ability or the resources" to make it past Iowa in the presidential race.
