On Fox they said he was the guy defending her and was very close to her. So I’m confused.

Yep, it seems as though the “political GOP professionals” don't like Palin as they can't control her and they have their ow “stable of candidates” anyhow. The party establishment has got to destroy her and any supporters. That's my take anyhow.

I'm confused too. This from the story:

Senior campaign officials blame Schuenemann specifically for stories about the way Wallace and chief campaign strategist Steve Schmidt mishandled Palin's rollout — stories that the campaign says threw them off message in the critical final weeks of the campaign.

What does this mean?

The story is that he defended her by telling to the media about the infighting she was facing in the campaign. He was initially fired, but then was unfired by McCain almost immediately when he found out about it.

Cleared up now, everybody?
