Tim Pawlenty has Schmidt in his employ? For sure?
He’s a non-starter for me anyway, but he doesn’t know that.
onyx, I haven’t found any evidence that Schmidt is affiliated with anyone and certainly not Pawlenty. There was a story that Pawlenty picked up some McCain advisers, neither of which is Schmidt or Wallace and one of which was close enough to Palin that Allahpundit thinks he would more naturally be on Palin’s campaign if Palin were running for sure.
Schmidt is burning too many bridges. Even if you agree with his politics, you don’t want anybody like that anywhere near your campaign, because you never know if he’ll stab you in the back, too.
Dick Morris only started bashing the Clintons after he stopped advising candidates.
