I rarely post Steve Schmidt, but, PLEASE, DU, read this.

70. Oh for crying out loud

Stop blaming him for a decision that only one person could make--and did. It wasn't like the idea was originally Schmidt's. Go yell at Fred Barnes, Bill Kristol and Rich Lowry for promoting that brainless Tundra Tart to the heavens, long before she was ever on the McCain campaign radar. Schmidt also knew that their choices were slim because McCain wanted Lieberman--which the party would never tolerate. And McCain was too much of a cranky old wanker to go with his best choice, Romney. Because McCain's fee-fees were still owie about Romney from the 2008 primary campaign.

Ultimately, the person responsible for that trashy church lady being on the ticket was one person ONLY: John McCain. He was the one who chose that idiot.

It's all on him, because the buck in that campaign stopped with him.
