News has been circulating around GOP insiders for weeks that McCain campaign honchos Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt were planning to blame Sarah Palin for McCain’s loss. This was expected to be an effort to punt the blame for their own failures to the side of the ticket that was most popular with the base, attracted the largest rally crowds, and scared the living bejeepers out of the opposing party.

I want to shine the light on them because I want people to think twice about hiring them. Any Conservative campaign has to have honest trustworthy people or it won’t succeed.
These staffers need to take some accountability for McCain’s failure. It is disgusting.
I agree, joygrace!
Can anyone help here? Does anyone know their e-mails or how to contact them? Thanks...
In a word, no.
And yes, you are wrong.
90% of the criminals in Congress are bright and articulate.
Replace them all with Palin types and we'd all be better off.
Give me honesty, integrity, passion and commitment.
Make tomorrows news headline- “ Due to Palin attacks by McCain staffers, thousands request RNC refunds.”
I have been reading all the hundreds of posts here, about the outrageous attacks by McCain staffers on Sarah Palin, and I see and hear nothing but deafening silence from the RNC and John McCain. It is now almost too late, for them to speak up now, as this has gone on all day long. I voted and contributed money ONLY after Sarah joined the ticket.I was extremely sad that John McCain did not allow her to speak at the concession rally, and did not shake her hand as he left the stage, but walked right by her. I have emailed the RNC and strongly voiced my disgust at the attacks on Sarah, and silence by all. On Fox News, Greta was plenty mad last night, I feel Bill O’Reilly should speak up, since this was aired on his show.
I have demanded my RNC contribution be refunded immediately. I would like to see Fridays news headline read, “100,000 RNC contributors request refunds due to unfair attacks on Gov. Palin.”
Obambi and Biden never could have been elected, even in a troubled economy, without the fervent cultish support and protection of the servile Mediascum.
Let’s remember that for every alleged failing of McCain and/or Palin there were several grotesque weaknesses of Obambi and/or Biden which the Mediascum simply refused to report on at all or in any detail.
Not saying we don’t need to do the serious post-mortem and figure out how to get better conservative candidates, etc. but before everyone does the circular firing squat that the Mediascum is trying to impose upon us, let us keep in mind that Obambi and Biden were each laughably weak candidates if viewed with an impartial and critical eye.....
As for Schmidt, Wallace, Davis, or anyone from the McCain campaign who trashes Governor Palin, especially as anonymous cowards, they are the ones who should have no political future with anyone.
Agreed. However, he did admit that was a black mark on him at the church debate.
That shocked me.
These people are beneath contempt. They have to blame the only success they had for their sorry performance.
If they ever work on a campaign again may it be a Dem’s
That was my fault. I should have captioned the photo Nicolle vs. Randy.
I was going to vote 3rd party until Sarah.
McCain=RINO.
What information do you need to provide them in order to get the refund. I would have been content to let them keep it...you know, we lost. But this post-game trashing of Sarah by our own team is inexcusable.
I will make a deal with them. They can give my money back or keep it...provided that they allow me one kick at both men to a part of their body of my choice.
I just did the same thing. Let Mrs McCain use some of her beer money to pay us back if the campaign is broke.
Let’s get these jerks email addresses out there and rip them some new assholes.
He's the one behind this, it's in his nature.
I saw this last night on O’Reilly and was pretty upset by it. I think Sarah is a great leader and has a hell of a future in politics. IMO she was well spoken, aggressive and stuck to her principles.
I know a lot of people don;t agree with me .. so keep the flames to a minimum because i’m a delicate type. (YEAH RIGHT)
Anyhow, I think that someone inside the campaign was just trying to sabotage her for the future and it saddened me.
The only names the article gives are Davis and Schmidt. Is that it?
Good point. I am forever optimistic people repent, yet I have been proven wrong again.
Would their emails still be the ones from the campaign?
I received emails from a couple of people on the campaign and their address was the same: first initial of their first name, followed by their last name @mccain08hq.com.
I would imagine Nicole Wallace and accomplices probably aren’t picking up their emails anymore. I am just guessing. Maybe they have their own websites. I haven’t done any searches.
I agree that the fix was in.
But even with the fix in, the decision was a close one.
McCain without Palin was about the weakest ticket the GOP could muster and it was still competitive with Obama!
Again, I maintain that this was the worst pair of candidates fielded in at least 60 years.
The information has been everywhere, with detailed explanations that even an idiot could understand.
Many explanations were given by people with extensive experience in credit card processing, in numerous freeper threads in the last month.
If you need to ask that question honestly, no explanation is possible.
I’ve lost respect for Mac because he hasn’t defended her. That’s low class crap .
LET IT GO...this is wha the left wants...the whole country to be relieved McCain isn’ the President....Why play into this game..IT’S OVER...MCCAIN is over...his day has come and gone..it’s all PALIN now....
