McCain's Campaign Manager Admits Mistake In Selecting Palin For Ticket

Steve Schmidt was John McCain's Campaign Manager in the 2008 presidential campaign. He admits that selecting Sarah Palin was a big mistake. He believes that she was not prepared for the VP position and that it became apparent during the campaign. He also argues that she has done nothing to prepare herself for leadership in the last four years and that it would be a disaster if she were to become a GOP leader. I don't think that a large segment of the GOP base would agree with him. Those voting in the GOP primary this year are still strong Palin supporters.

  1. A lot of Republicans would just as soon never have heard of the woman.
    She was undoubtedly a negative contributor to McCain's defeat.
    But there is a certain political faction out there of like minded crazies who will follow her off the cliff.
    Fortunately, that is only a small but vocal minority.
    But her presidential aspirations are as dead as Jimmy Hoffa.
