Let's not even get into really nasty campaign management. A good high school friend that I am still in touch with worked on the McCain campaign, and was directly around Schmidt numerous times. And just those few stories.... the guy sounds like a monster. Even when a Republican staffer describes him.
Really competitive, borderline neurotic, controlling, bastard guys are tapped for this kind of job. It's just a matter of degree. I mean, the job description is basically "make me look really good and that other guy like a total."
