Steve Schmidt:
There are unknowns with Palin, and, ah, certainly it could go bad. But if it were me, I'd rather lose by ten points going for the win than lose by one point and look back and say "Goddamn, we should have gone for the win". Mark Salter:
Our slogan's "Country First". Lieberman and Pawlenty are "Country First" choices. Sarah Palin will be perceived as a self-serving political maneuver. [pause] Mark Salter:
You many not only lose the election, John... you just might lose your reputation right along with it. John McCain:
I'm not running for my reputation. I'm running to be President! Mark Salter:
Yes, sir
