One of the aides tells CNN that campaign manager Rick Davis fired Scheunemann after determining that he had been in direct contact with journalists spreading "disinformation" about campaign aides, including Nicolle Wallace and other officials.
"He was positioning himself with Palin at the expense of John McCain's campaign message," said one of the aides.

I’m with anyone who was with Palin.
McCain really abused Palin during this presidential election. He had her do a lot of stupid things that undermined her image without improving his electoral prospect. McCain the man is a wonderful person. But it is long past time for McCain the politician to stroll into the sunset.
Scheunemann = good guy
I guess McCain’s campaign really was a disaster.
Well, Reagan had a great 2 campaigns, Bush 41 had one. Then a disaster. Clinton had 2 good campaigns with a Dole disaster and then Gore had a disaster with Bush having a brilliant campaign. Then Kerry Imploded and Bush survived. Now the Dems get a great campaign and the GOP imploded.
The problem I see is that the Dems are so blinded by Zer0 that they are bound to run a good campaign in 2012 while the GOP campaign people are busy with mutally assured destruction.
Has ANY GOP person besides Rove run a really good campaign lately? I actually don’t think Schmidt did too bad with the crap they were handed, they would have won without the bailout crash IMO, but he is probably toast now. Although the campaign is looking worse in retrospect by the day.
I hope Jindal has a good right hand man picked out. Palin is going to have a hard time finding people she can trust IMO.
With Romney likely toast, looks like Jindal in the pole position with Palin 2 carlengths back. Is there anyone else who can pull onto the lead lap?
I don’t know how you can stand to give CNN ratings after they’ve just pulled a “Deliverance” on this country.
“So what exactly was John McCain’s campaign message, anyway?”
He didn’t have one. It’s his aides fault.
But they want to be hired again in the future. So they want to be able to say “Palin’s fault,” not their own.
I thought it might have been this:
I don't care much for the guy, but you can't rule out Rick Perry.
There are some good campaign people out there and there are some really bad consultants.
If I was going to run a campaign I would pay the money and have Ed Goeas run my campaign like he did for Congresswoman Mary Fallin. She had a campaign manager but Ed was the consultant who called the shots.
Rick Davis fired Scheunemann after determining that he had been in direct contact with journalists spreading "disinformation" about campaign aidesThis story is a continuation of the partisan media shill attacks on Governor Palin.
With friends like his who needs enemies is very appropriate.
“Rick Perry”
HELL NO.
IMHO, both of them were always pro-affirmative action, pro-abortion RINOs long before GWB appointed them to office.
I heard Condi today talking about how proud she was as an “african-american” and I thought geez louise Condi, they were calling you and powell uncle toms and all that not too long ago. I guess all is forgiven now. Sheesh.
