There is a long article in News Weak about Steve Schmidt and how he was called by Maria to bail out Arnie when he was running for re-election and Schmidt totally remade his message to more middle of the road, this is what Schmidt thinks people want... and umhum, isn’t that how he tried to run McCain’s campaign? He is also a supporter of Gay rights and I suspect despite his call to the Greta saying the contrary, after reading that article I think he was 180 from Palin and would very likely not be a supporter of hers.
I’ll bet you are right about Schmitt, AC.
