<snip>Perry is a threat to Bachmann's fundraising and sources close to her campaign said funds may be running low.
Bachmann relies on campaign money from small donors, many of them Tea Party activists. That strategy made the Minnesota congresswoman the top fundraiser in the House of Representatives last year. But to take her campaign to the next level, Bachmann needs to find major donors who pledge to collect $50,000 or more, known as bundlers, experts say.
"It's quite possible one of the reasons for the shakeup is they have overspent ... Fundraising numbers may not have been close to the mark," said Larry Jacobs, a University of Minnesota politics professor.
A Republican source close to the campaign said Bachmann did not want to make phone calls to potential big campaign donors, anther source of friction with her top advisers.
