HBO's Game Change: I'm Not Your Puppet

Nicolle Wallace, one of McCain's ’08 campaign’s top advisers. She and Steve Schmidt, another key McCain adviser, were consultants in the Game Change Production. 

Wallace was asked about the Katie Couric interview in the video:

True enough to make me squirm. But, um, you know, this isn’t a movie about campaign staff, and this isn’t really even a movie about McCain and Palin. This is a movie about the vast gray area in which 99 percent of our politics takes place. And I think what gets boiled down or sometimes the fights, the instant analysis, the black and white of who’s up and who’s down, the truth is… you’re just feeling your way through a very gray area and you’re doing your best.

Steve Schmidt: Palin Believed Candidacy 'God's Plan'

 Both of these people believe God has a plan for them

01/10/10 11:45 PM 

WASHINGTON — Sarah Palin believed that Sen. John McCain chose her to be his running mate in 2008 because of "God's plan."

In an interview with the CBS news magazine "60 Minutes," Steve Schmidt described Palin as "very calm – nonplussed" after McCain met with her at his Arizona ranch just before putting her on the Republican ticket. McCain had planned to name Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., as his vice presidential choice until word leaked that Palin was the Republican vice presidential nominee.

Schmidt said he asked Palin about her serenity in the face of becoming "one of the most famous people in the world." Palin said, "It's God's plan."

Schmidt was interviewed by "60 Minutes" for a segment about the new book about the 2008 presidential race. The book "Game Change," is written by John Heilemann of New York magazine and Mark Halperin of Time magazine.

Schmidt credited Palin with being a quick study and for giving a great speech at the Republican convention in St. Paul, MN, However, it soon became clear that Palin often was not accurate in her remarks.

"There were numerous instances that she said things that were – that were not accurate that, ultimately, the campaign had to deal with. And that opened the door to criticism that she was being untruthful and inaccurate. And I think that that is something that continues to this day," he said.
