Meghan McCain, the chatty daughter of 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain, says she joining up with "team Romney" for the 2012 campaign for the White House. At least, that's her leaning at this early stage.
McCain, 25, told NBC "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno she "is so sick and tired of this us-versus-them mentality" in politics. "I just want a candidate that's going to stop being so versus them. So right now I am team Romney."
In 2008, Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, was a rival who clearly got under the skin of Sen. McCain in the early stages of the Republican campaign when both competed for the nomination. Once McCain emerged as presumed GOP nominee, Romney got on board and received some consideration as a vice presidential running mate.
That honor went to then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. When Meghan McCain learned of the pick, she told Leno she panicked and cried on the way to the announcement, according to a CNN report. "I remember being on stage and distinctly thinking, 'God, let her not have any skeletons in the closet.' "
Meghan McCain was on the late-night show to promote her book, "Dirty Sexy Politics," a tome in which she describes Palin as a "time bomb."
Romney is raising money and has made no secret of his intention to run for president again in 2012. Of course, many pundits think Palin is on the same track.
Would it be possible to have a Meghan McCain moratorium . . . say til the next millenium?
There is a storm coming, and the likes of FLIP WILLARD SLICK RINO ROMNEY, and all of his supporters, are going to be swept away.
Meghan McCain; another family failure! Just following in her father’s footsteps.
Hey Megan, I cried when I learned your Dad was our candidate too.
I had the opportunity to listen to both Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney give live speeches in the last three months. I was really excited to see Palin, but honestly, her speech was boring and uninspiring. Instead of focusing on hard-hitting policy issues (the type of stuff that endears her to us), she just spoke in political generalities. It actually made me sour on her a little.
Romney on the other hand, talked about nothing but economic issues. I wasn’t too keen on him in the first place, but he really impressed me with his business mind and if he stuck strictly to economic issues (and shrinking government), he’d be a good candidate. But, if he accepts McCain’s daughter in any capacity, he’s a true idiot, and would never get my vote.
To the media, I don’t give a hoot who Megan McCain is for.
Wonder if Romney really wants her endorsement?
btw I predicted a long time ago that John McCain would ditch Sarah after she helped him get elected.
That’s like a flaming boil proudly announcing it’s found a new butt to infect. I may not prefer Romney, but I wouldn’t wish this sick freakazoid on anybody.
Well actually her father was on Obama’s team, because you could tell from the beginning that he had no desire in him to win
More like Team KFC.
UGGGHHHH!
WHO CARES WHAT THIS BIMBO THINKS? My God..I care more about what Piper Palin thinks than this slut.
Like, uh, for sure. Like, Ya know.
What an attention freak. I expect to see her on a Survivor type show soon.
Sorry but your post just came across to me as????? So you liked Sarah until you heard her speak recently...I see
I wonder if she will screw him like dad did?
She sure knows how to pick a loser.
Wow. Excellent! Points for the good guy.
Funny she should say that as her claim to fame has been her being "versus" Sarah Palin and the Tea Party...
