RE: Sarah Palin Excluded from John McCain’s Funeral
The former Alaska governor, campaign manager Steve Schmidt, adviser Nicolle Wallace and strategist John Weaver were all left off the guest lists for McCain's memorial services, Politico reported, citing three unnamed sources.
Politico reported that McCain became angry with Schmidt for his criticism of the decision to select Palin, even though Schmidt had been one of the advisers advocating her for the VP slot.
Schmidt and Wallace cooperated with the authors of the 2009 book "Game Change" (which was made into and HBO movie), which painted Palin in a very unflattering light.
Weaver, the man behind McCain's "Straight Talk Express," left the campaign in 2007 when McCain's primary run appeared doomed.
