“Fred Malek: Palin’s not doing what she needs to do to run.”
Fred Malek worked for Nixon and got into pretty serious trouble helping Nixon target “Jewish officials” whom Nixon deemed subversive. He left government during the Ford administration and was MIA (or maybe it was persona non grata) during the Reagan Administration.
He showed up in the very next moderate GOP administration (that of G.H.W. Bush) and was appointed campaign manager for Bush’s reelection effort. He thus has “hands on” experience managing the worst election defeat of an elected incumbent Republican President in 60 years since Hoover.
As has been pointed out, this guy is in the tank for Romney. He has a list of top ten contenders which I link below in which he names Haley Barbour and Mike Castle and Mark Kirk ahead of Palin on the list.

Why would I take advantage of a guy who converted the magnificent 49 state 60% Reagan landslide of 1984 into a 37% disaster that resulted in the first defeat of an elected, incumbent GOP president since Hoover? Yet old Allahpundit taqke him for the Gospel. Sarah Palin sdoes not need the advice of this old RINO.
Mr. Malek advised President Reagan as a member of the executive committee of the President’s Council on Cost Control, as a member of the President’s Commission on Private Sector Initiatives and as a member of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
ROFLOLOLOL. Fred seems like an ideal fit for Romney.
