According to a McCain campaign source, the Wall Street Journal didn't get the whole story today about Gov. Sarah Palin's debate preparation regime.
Prepping Palin for Thursday's debate will be senior advisers Steve Schmidt and Mark Wallace. Contrary to reports, campaign manager Rick Davis will not participate.
Wallace has been helping Palin since McCain announced the pick.
The Journal article seemed to suggest some internal blame-assigning, but sources close to the campaign say that McCain does not blame anyone; he just wanted Schmidt to help.
Also: note that Obama campaign chief strategist David Axelrod will help prepare Sen. Joe Biden for the debate, so it's not unusual for a campaign topper to spend time helping the veep.
