Maybe it was true. Maybe the blogger wanted to get back at Romney. Or maybe he wanted to cover for all the attacks core McCain loyalists at the top of the campaign (like Wallace and Schmidt) actually did make on Palin.
But now everybody apparently assumes that everyone at the top of McCain's campaign was somehow really a Romneyite. It's funny how that happened.
I suppose, as Republicans, Schmidt and Wallace supported or were assumed to support Romney in the 2012 general election, but probably most of us did the same. They weren't Romney loyalists and they weren't above sniping at Mitt or putting in a good word for Obama.

There have been numerous articles/posts here on FR listing the interconnections with Romney/McCain and many of the people who were supposed ‘ex’ Romney people went on to work on the McCain/Palin team.
