Schmidt is a loser, he didn’t want to give Sarah the right to go up there and give a great concession speech and thus, give her the limelight. Sarah came out the true winner in that campaign, she shined while the rest of them acted like idiots. No wonder they lost
Schmidt is a BIG loser!
He’s Meghan McLame in pants.
Another way to look at it is that by not giving the speech, Gov. Palin did not concede. Chances are, she won’t ever give a concession speech :-)
Someone in the campaign intended for her to give a speech. They sent 2 speechwriters, one from the McCain campaign and one who worked regularly with just Palin, to work on a speech with her. They had a victory speech and a concession speech already written and rehearsed. I can see, though, with the disappointing results, the campaign just wanting to “get the evening over.”
