Steve Schmidt, who was chief strategist for McCain's presidential race, said Palin helped McCain as a running mate in the 2008 race. Schmidt earlier this month said that Palin would be a catastrophe for the GOP if she's the party's presidential nominee in 2012.
Schmidt declined to elaborate on his criticism of Palin, but said he believed she has "great talents" in politics.
Schmidt spoke at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service.
