Anyone who ever worked with Schmidt can tell you, he’s a solid guy. Good man. And former Gov. Palin was completely outclassed, outgunned, and outmaneuvered by him. She would have looked far more professional had she listened to Steve. She made a catastrophic political mistake in writing her ‘novel’ Going Rogue. If she ever wants to run for high office, shooting Steve Schmidt, Nicolle Wallace, Rick Davis and others in the (political) face was catastrophic. Even more so than all the crazy things she believes in.
