Randy Scheunemann, a senior foreign policy adviser to McCain for years, got fired a week before election day.

It appears that he was leaking stuff to the press that dissed his fellow campaign members to the apparrent benefit of Palin:

One of the aides tells CNN that campaign manager Rick Davis fired Scheunemann after determining that he had been in direct contact with journalists spreading “disinformation” about campaign aides, including Nicolle Wallace and other officials.

“He was positioning himself with Palin at the expense of John McCain’s campaign message,” said one of the aides.

And I thought that Hillary’s campaign team was dysfunctional.

I’d rather have Mark Penn on my side than any of these guys….I can’t fracking believe that I just said that.
