McCain Aide Nonplussed, Imus Gets Misogynist, A Second Book Coming
by Barbara Curtis

October 2-5

Steve Schmidt, John McCain's former campaign manager -- whose fractious relationship with Palin has been rumored for a year -- hasn't warmed one bit to the charismatic conservative spokesperson.

She is someone who has a passionate base that constitutes millions of Americans, but in the year since the election has ended, she has done nothing to expand her appeal beyond that base into the middle of the electorate where elections are decided.

I guess that "middle of the electorate where elections are decided" were the people who put up McCain. That didn't work out so well, though, did it?
