Armey: "McCain strategists feared Sarah Palin the moment she was chosen"

In a wide-ranging NewsMax.com interview, FreedomWorks chairman and former House Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas was asked about Steve Schmidt's recent comment that a Sarah Palin presidential candidacy would be disastrous for Republicans in 2012. Armey's reply:
"You have to understand, McCain strategists feared Sarah Palin the moment she was chosen" because of concerns she might upstage the candidate at the top of the ticket, Armey said.

"Sarah Palin is I think now on her own terms and giving expression to her own voice.

"She's going to demonstrate herself to be a far more shining example of what small government conservatism is and how well it can be understood and expressed than the McCain campaign was able to do."
