The Palin debate debacle: Former McCain campaign manager Steve Schmidt revealed that making Sarah Palin a viable vice presidential candidate was an uphill battle, and that Palin believed that her candidacy was “God’s Plan.”

In an interview with the CBS news magazine “60 Minutes,” last weekend, Steve Schmidt described Palin as “very calm and non-plussed” after McCain met with her at his Arizona ranch just before putting her on the Republican ticket.

Schmidt said he asked Palin about her serenity in the face of becoming “one of the most famous people in the world.” He quoted her as saying, “It’s God’s plan.”

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

According to Schmidt, Governor Palin was a total air-head who had no clue as to what led to the breakup of Korea or what caused the world wars or even the functions of the Federal Reserve.
