The two most important staff people from John McCain's campaign who were most closely involved with Sarah Palin as the VP candidate, have now spoken out with some support for the film, "Game Change."
Steve Schmidt, the chief McCain strategist, said yesterday that the film was "a very accurate description" of the campaign. He also said that the idea of a Sarah Palin presidency frightens him. While not directly saying he felt guilty, he sounded defensive and apologetic in explaining: "We were fueled by ambition to win."
Nicolle Wallace, who was assigned to Palin as her "handler," said yesterday on This Week, when asked how "true to life" the film is: "True enough to make me squirm." Later in an interview with Rachel Maddow she said she was still in shock at “how close we came to having somebody a heartbeat away from the presidency so fundamentally unprepared and unsuited for the job,” and she felt guilt about working to try to make that happen.
There you have it. No more authentic sources than these two.
You betcha !!!
