WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senator John McCain's daughter said on Sunday that Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell of Delaware, a Tea Party favorite, is "seen as a nut job."
"Christine O'Donnell is making a mockery of running for public office," Meghan McCain said of her father's fellow Republican, who recently ran an ad declaring, "I'm not a witch."
Appearing on ABC's "This Week," McCain said O'Donnell "has no real history, no real success in any kind of business."
"And what that sends to my generation is (the message that) one day, you can just wake up and run for Senate, no matter how lack of experience you have," said McCain, 26, author of the new book, "Dirty Sexy Politics."
O'Donnell stunned the Republican establishment in September when she defeated Mike Castle, a former two-term governor and longtime member of the U.S. House of Representatives, to win the Republican U.S. Senate nomination from Delaware.
O'Donnell prevailed with the help of the conservative Tea Party movement and Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor who was John McCain's running mate in the 2008 White House race.
Meghan McCain, who became known for her online chronicle of daily life on her father's failed presidential campaign, ripped into O'Donnell's candidacy.
"It scares me for a lot of reasons, and I just know in my group of friends, it just turns people off, because she's seen as a nut job," McCain said.
O'Donnell has been the beneficiary of an anti-Washington environment fanned by the Tea Party and voter anger about weak U.S. economy. John McCain swung to the right on a number of issues this year to beat back a conservative challenger in his re-election bid in Arizona.
She needs to stfu
Miss POTT ... Paging Ms KETTLE
Megan MCCain = Levi Johnston.
McCain has a lot in common with Chris Coons.
Chris Coons is the heir to the Gore-tex fortune - the inventor of Gore-tex is his step dad.
I agreed with the headline because I thought she meant ROSIE O’Donnell!
Was she talking about "commander zero"?
megin mcain is a nut job.
megin mcain makes a mockery of herself
mdgin mcain has no real history or no real success in any kind of business.
hate to break it to meggin mccain but...anyone CAN wake up one day and decide to run for Senator. THAT’S why we are the United States of America.
So there megin mccain is a rebuttle of all the silly things you said.
You would do well to learn from Christine O’Donnell. Grow up.
In OUR group of adult friends...you DO NOT scare us megin mccain. You are fodder for our laughter with your idiotic statements. YOU calling ANYONE a nut job? Megin is the nut job. wandering around trying to get some kind of attention and recognition.
She knows that there are plenty of stupid people in this country who will buy her book.
And, what's your point, Mags?
Yes, the beauty of our system is that anyone (barring a few age and citizenship limits) can run for anything.
The question is, can they win? That is up to the electorate, at least one-hundred millionth of which (myself) thinks that experience in elective office can be a negative.
As I – you know -- listened to her on – like -- Larry “Cadaver” King, I kept thinking about something about which Boortz frequently reminds -- you know -- his male audience: “At some point, you’ll have to try to have a conversation with her.” I also kept thinking – you know -- that she HAS to be from – like – California or somewhere until I remembered that – you know -- Arizona also has – like –valleys and stuff and – you know – really big holes in the ground.
At least Dowd is articulate. :)
Megan needs to make absolutely sure they never photograph her from the rear again. You could see the rolls of fat bulging out all over the place.
is she talking about her god bamey?....did bamey ever work a regular job?....have to walk or hitch-hike anywhere?...wash tables?....change the oil in his car?....has he ever even changed a tire?.....
little McCain should just run back to her silver spoon trust fund and leave us rabble and peasants and nut jobs alone...WE DON'T NEED THE LIKES OF YOU YOU LITTLE HARLOT!
and we wanted him to win but not because of him but because we LOVED Sarah and we feared the alternative....bama...
and how many of us sent our hard earned dollars into McCain's campaign....
I'll be much more careful next time...
You took the words right out of my mouth (or keyboard.)
one of them was my mother.
This tramp is the reason whores have a bad name.
