All the McRoaches are emerging from the woodwork...note Schmidt was affiliated with Schwarzenegger too...

He didn’t endorse Romney. He said positive things about every concievable candidate, Romney, Pawlenty, Palin, etc.

Says it all doesn’t it between him, and his daughter...makes you wonder, or know that it was GOOD that McCain lost!

Meghan McCain is on the same page.

[longtermmemmory]

this is the reason McCain had NO CORE SUPPORT. Zzero zip.

McCain had only the “Not Obama” and the “pro-palin” voter.

there were no “mccain voters” in significant ammounts.

If mccain had real support he would not have had to resort to vote splitting by using Thompson, mccain’s friend, and huckabee, useful idiot.

Steve Schmidt, chief strategist for U.S. Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) presidential campaign...

No wonder McCain lost. Thank God.

My apologies to those FReepers who stayed home and sat on their hands on election night. This Trojan horse could have been ours.

I worked as a volunteer for the McCain campaign ..and Little Miss Meghan started scaring us early on with her lib leaning blog. Also, in People mag(I think it was), she said she was “not as Conservative as her father”. Oh really? Since Daddy is and was anything but, I guess she was joining the ranks of the Obamanots early on.

The biggest problem I have with Schmidt's statement is that he failed to acknowledge the biggest issue; that is, the judiciary's role. Anyone with an intellectual understanding of conservatism should be very aware of the difference between an evolving sense of justice and what it is that judges do.

In other words, I truly don't mind if a subset of Republicans are themselves in favor of changing laws to accomodate homosexual unions. But for them to gloss over, as if trivial, laws being passed by the people's representatives *versus* change by judicial fiat really really bothers me.

Forgot something: Steve Schmidt, the Bullet, was supposed to be the Savior that would swoop in and save the McCain campaign: a mover and a shaker who was going to turn it all around for Johnny.
He was inaccessible: an enigma during the campaign. Noone could figure out who or where he was. And as we all found out, the magic stategerie never panned out.

I still can’t believe I voted for this putz. There isn’t enough bleach and or a strong enough power-washer to get that stink off. I’ll carry the shame with me for the rest of my days.

[pissant]

I agree with Mass Resistance’s version. Not Romney’s.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

And as we all found out, the magic stategerie never panned out.

In retrospect, the magic strategery probably worked exactly as it was intended to.

[JSDude1]

I can safely say that “I did not”: I proudly voted for Chuck Baldwin!
