That is not a smear but a documented fact. Schmidt managed the McCain for President campaign. McCain, as you will recall, lost to Barack Obama in the 2008 election. Schmidt and his candidate bungled the campaign so badly that an untested, smooth-talking, America-bashing dilettante now occupies the White House as Commander-in-Chief.
Great job, guys!
Like a diligent virus, Schmidt refuses to leave the body politic. He is back again to call Sarah Palin's new book "total fiction." Interesting.
The list of Schmidt's disastrous campaign decisions is too long to completely document here. But we conservatives will long remember the propping up of the clown Huckabee to slam Mitt Romney during the primaries, and the idiotic suspension of the campaign - as if the outcome of the financial crisis hinged on McCain's famous "reach across" move on the Senate floor. Not until it was entirely too late did the McCain campaign attempt to tie candidate Obama to the likes of Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, let alone call into question Obama's mysterious background and activities as a student and so-called community organizer. Schmidt and McCain totally bought in to the multicultural hogwash that dictates any legitimate criticism of a person because they may happen to be sort of a minority totally out of bounds...

AMEN +10,000
Finally, McCain was also a lousy carrier jock!!!
Resp’y, Captain Pope
ANYONE who hires Schmist, Nicole Wallace or Mark McKinnon should be SHUNNED!! They are TOO STUPID to be elected dogcatcher.
PRO-Gay “Marriage” also.
Schmidt: Ass.
Just a plain old garden variety loser, in my opinion.
Body Slam!!!....and that my friends (dusting one’s self off) is That!
McCain ran way too far left (middle of the road) which meant that he didn’t take the conservative position on many issues.
Schmidt is partly responsible for McCain not being conservative enough, thus making 0bama’s radical leftist socialist direction seem like he was middle of the road, which it couldn’t be close to even if he came in from the left.
Possibly it's time to revive aspects about McCain's military career that I vowed to put in the deep freeze during the McCain/Palin campaign.
McCain was widely known as "Ace McCain" among his fellow Navy fliers, because he managed to crash five of his own planes. Well, maybe one or two of them weren't his fault, but he was unlucky as well as reckless.
But McCain's worst act was to use his position as chair of the Senate POW-MIA committee to abandon his fellow POW-MIAs for political and monetary advantage. He provided cover for that, and for the recognition of North Vietnam and establishment of trade relations without demanding any accounting of what happened to them. Some were shipped to China and Russia. Some may still have been alive at the time. But McCain abandoned them.
Not sure I’d take a lot of Schmidt’s input at face value. Not sure I’d take basketball advice from the Washington Generals, either.
Steve Schmidt and Nicolle Wallace will never work in this town again. Anyone who is stupid enough to hire them deserves what they get. I can’t even imagine Mitt Romney hiring them, even though they both support him. Schmidt and Wallace are not smart enough to pick up dog poop from the street
It’s all “fiction”, Steve? So does that mean you suing for libel?

= 10,000,000,000,000 ad infinitum.
Schmidt and Wallace both appeared to be working for Owebama.
He not only didn't take the conservtive position, McCain seemed to make a point of insulting his conservative base at least once daily.
Worst GOP candidate since Alf Landon.
2. The impulse to suspend the campaign over the financial crisis was the right one.
3. Had they not trod very gingerly regarding what “multicultural hogwash” dictates they would have been mercilessly savaged by the MSM.
This article is off base.
The campaign was fairly well run.
It was the disastrous candidate which could not be overcome.
