Fresh details emerged today of the backroom dramas as Sarah Palin alarmed her campaign managers with a string of gaffes during her run for vice-president in 2008.
Race of a Lifetime, a new book by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin which is serialized in The Times this week, reveals that advisers to John McCain were taken aback by how little Mrs Palin knew about politics and history when she was confirmed as Mr McCain's Republican running mate after a cursory, 12-hour selection process.
"You guys have a lot of work to do," Steve Schmidt, Mr McCain's campaign chief, is said to have told the experts he had recruited to tutor her. "She doesn't know anything."

“I do so, know everything, you betcha. I know what time Putin takes out the garbage, I can see him from my kitchen window. I know I got rid of that pesky Bullwinkle and his homosexual partner squirrel. I know about the Obama death panels. I also know how much free designer clothes I could get out of the RNC, you betcha.”
