“Scheunemann was one of Sarah Palin’s staunchest defenders within the McCain camp, and he nearly lost his job because of it:

Steve Schmidt has told people [Randy Scheunemann] was fired the last week of the campaign; Scheunemann says he wasn't fired; others say Schmidt tried to fire him (at one point cutting off his e-mail) but was over-ruled by [campaign manager Rick] Davis. (Scheunemann’s offense was writing an email to Bill Kristol defending Palin and criticizing the handling of her.) “

Dang! Just dang!
Let me see if I get this straight. McCain's campaign manager Steve Schmidt, actually tried to get a top campaign strategist fired, because he dared to defend Sarah Palin? Who were these people runing aginst? Sarah Palin or Barack Obama?
The mind just boggles.
Is it any surprise John McCain lost?

As if Schmidt did anything right. As if McCain did anything right.
McCain finally said he didn't fear an Obama presidency--
--having stifled every single solid point of contention re Obama's Leftist, racist, anti-Israel, anti-Constitution associations.
Someone (Schmidt?) put Sarah Palin in Katie Couric's and Charlie Gibson's crap factories--
--pure genius that.
And the coup de grâce was administered by McCain himself by going along with the most asinine waste of money in the history of the Republic--
--instead of sailing to victory by opposing it, and demanding tax cuts instead.
Yes, John McCain and his advisor lost the election--
--and classlessly sabotaged the only promising gleam by attacking Sarah Palin.
