==Careerhistory==
Rollins is best known for his work on the 1984 [[Ronald Reagan]] relection campaign and as Co-Chairman and Campaign Manager of [[Ross Perot]]'s 1992 Presidential campaign. [http://www.edwardsly.com/whitmanc.htm]
===Reagan===
A biographical note describes Rollins as having worked as Assistant to the President for Political Affairs in Reagan's first term and then as "the national Campaign Director for his 1984 re-election campaign". He then rejoined the Administration as Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff for Political and Governmental Affairs. [http://www.ashbrook.org/events/lecture/1992/rollins.html]
In December 2007, Rollins joined Governor [[Mike Huckabee]]'s presidential campaign as its national campaign chair. <ref>Jason George, "[http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2007/12/mike_huckabee_reels_in_ed_roll.html Mike Huckabee reels in Ed Rollins]," ''Baltimore Sun'' blog "The Swamp," December 14, 2007.</ref>
Subsequently, the Democrats launched a lawsuit as Rollins' comments were alleged to be an admission of illegal behavior. When cross-examined by Democratic attorneys, Rollins claimed that his comments had been no more than part of a "psychological warfare" game he was playing with [[James Carville]], the campaign manager for Whitman's opponent. A federal grand jury investigation proceeded, but eventually the grand jury concluded that no evidence had been presented to show that any laws had been broken.
