McCain versus Palin, the Next Generation (Meghan McCain part of "Team Romney")
The National Post ^ | September 8, 2010 | Sheldon Alberts

Talk about going rogue.

Meghan McCain, who fancies herself the hippest, most progressive young Republican in America, talked some trash last night about Sarah Palin.

I know, where have you heard this song before?

Ever since Palin imploded in her Katie Couric interview before the 2008 election, just about everyone involved in John McCain’s presidential campaign – the candidate excluded – has publicly declared how they never really liked Mama Grizzly to start with.

Now the candidate’s daughter is piling on. In an interview with Jay Leno to publicize her recently-released book, Dirty Sexy Politics, Meghan McCain confesses to weeping on the GOP campaign bus after learning Palin was her dad’s running mate.

“Who the hell is Sarah Palin?” was how McCain described her reaction.

“I found out an hour before I went on stage with her. I think they were scared I would say something or whatever. Like the rest of the country, I had no idea who she was and I was actually crying on the bus on the way to the rally.”

McCain has said she has “conflicting” feelings about Palin. But she knows one thing – saying nasty things about the former mayor of Wasilla makes for good copy and can’t hurt sales of a book that might otherwise be destined for the remainder bin.

At 195 pages, McCain’s book is not a weighty political tome–either literally or figuratively. She happily acknowledged to Leno that the book was written for her girlfriends, not political insiders.

To wit, it includes a passage where McCain ponders the impact of having Mitt Romney on the ticket, in so far as it would expose her to the former Massachusetts’ governor’s five Mormon sons, who were “all so handsome, in a tooth-whitener commercial kind of way, and so seriously handsome.”

Has Schmidt openly gone to work for Romney, yet?

I think his work for Romney is still ‘in the closet’. Eric Fehrnstrom is very controlling, sensitive and emotionally insecure. I see conflict ahead. Good.

The national media and the rest of the left declared Palin to have IMPLODED with little, perky Katie. Right now, as then, Katie can’t draw an audience. Sarah can!!

Don’t you think she sees Senator McCain through the lens of being an older military veteran and POW, which is someone to be looked up to?

Unfortunately, she probably does see him as a military hero, and she's said that. But there are many thousands of military heroes in the US, and almost 600 ex-POWS from Vietnam. I think McCain has already gotten many times his share of the plaudits and career boosts due any ex-military man. It's long past time everyone viewed him as the politicians he is, and nothing else.

The still big, open question concerning Sarah for me is: Is she a John McCain Republican? She's done little to separate herself from him, and a fair amount to remain attached to him, and she's still dealing mostly in broad generalities.

If she’s a “John McCain Republican” why is his daughter on Team Romney, do you think? I understand pissant and rabscuttle385 and their friends wanting to paint her as a RINO, they’re Third Party members, but I assume you’re not, right?

All the falcon talk? Do they even have candidates yet? When they get their chit together and start moving, I’ll give em a good look. In the meantime, they are just an idea and platform.

I wouldn’t say crying is exclusive to liberals. My mother is as conservative as they come and it doesn’t take much to get her to cry. Glenn Beck is another example.
