WASHINGTON (AP) - Sarah Palin believed that Sen. John McCain chose her to be his running mate in 2008 because of "God's plan," according to a top political strategist in the Arizona Republican's campaign.
In an interview with the CBS news magazine "60 Minutes," Steve Schmidt described Palin as "very calmnonplussed" after McCain met with her at his Arizona ranch just before putting her on the Republican ticket. McCain had planned to name Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., as his vice presidential choice until word leaked, sparking what Schmidt called political blowback over picking the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee.
Schmidt said he asked Palin about her serenity in the face of becoming "one of the most famous people in the world." He quoted her as saying, "It's God's plan."

I wonder if Steve Schmidt knows that non-plussed means puzzled? Or, did he think it meant serene?

evangelical subculture?
The dominant culture isn't evangelical, and isn't even Christian. If you're evangelical (as I am) you belong to a subculture. (Actually, the church thrives under such conditions.)

He probably meant nonchalant with a little unruffled thrown in for good measure.

What else would one expect but derision at Palin’s remark, coming from a godless person like Schmidt?
