A lot of commenters have noticed that despite Rollins’s impressive fundraising quarter, her campaign barely has a pulse. Geezer’s thoughts on Rollins:

I really think Rollins is in real trouble. The GOP has been trying for years to get her to run, but she never took the plunge, so there’s not much fire in her belly. I wonder if leadership didn’t put her up to this so the wingnut wing wouldn’t waltz to an unopposed slot on the November ballot, and she signed on thinking this would be easy.
The GOP peasants are in revolt, and they’re marching on the castle with their torches and pitchforks. Reminds me that Mike Castle used to dress up for the Newark Halloween parade as Frankenstein’s monster.
As I noted before, Rollins had no trouble winning the Republican endorsement at the convention. Urquhart was the one who could barely win his own county. Several commenters think that the convention delegates may be significantly different than the primary electorate as a whole, actually less conservative than primary voters as a whole.
Miscreant adds further evidence of a sagging Rollins campaign:

“Rollins seems a bit disengaged but she sure got the moneybags to open their wallets to her.”
You couldn’t tell that by her display at the State Fair today. Her unstaffed exhibit was rather sparse, comparatively. A few pieces of literature, and a pile deflated balloons. By comparison, the Hollywood Racing Pigs attraction was spectacular.
