On Monday, Meghan McCain told Kennesaw State University that she wants Mitt Romney, not Sarah Palin, to be the next president.
As McCain explained, "My personal favorite right now is Mitt Romney. I like that he's not so radical. I like that he has really, really played his cards right, almost perfectly since the last election" (as reported by Marietta Daily Journal).
McCain's endorsement may be a double-edged sword for Romney. On the one hand, her endorsement is a boon because she chose him over her own father's running mate. And McCain enjoys a devoted following among independents, moderate Republicans and young voters, which could help him with crucial swing voters.
On the other hand, praise from a high-profile moderate like McCain could backfire on Romney as conservatives might take it as further evidence that he's too liberal for the Republican Party.
Other recent news stories suggest the conservative base's reservations about Romney: Mike Huckabee's attacks on "RomneyCare," David Axelrod's praise of Romney's health plan and Rick Santorum's attacks on Romney.
Last month, Huckabee began promoting his new book, A Simple Government. In his book, he criticized Romney's health plan, comparing it to "ObamaCare." According to Politico, Huckabee argued that if Romney wanted to be a serious contender for the GOP nomination, then he needed to admit that he was wrong and to see that as a lesson on why socialized medicine doesn't work.....

Megan McCain/Alvin Greene 2012
It’s all about fooling the middle. Obama is a die hard Socialist but he can come off as a left of center President to many. Romney is very Conservative yet can do the head fake from the right. He even has quite a few here fooled. Reagan did the same.
Meghan “The Kingmaker”
The media is delusional.
Yeah, Romneycare and his waffling on abortion certainly faked me out. All this time, I just thought Mitt was just a moderate.
Wind the tape back, I don’t think I understood you correctly.
Hmmm. Got yet Flame-Proof Magic Underwear on?
You might gonna need 'em, making remarks like that around here...
“yet” -> “yer”
I don't know who my candidate is yet. we're still LONG way out. But I GUARANTEE it won't be from the McCain family or anyone connected to them. I want a conservative with fire in their belly this time.
Tired of the same stupid, spineless bunch that we've been getting offered up for the gipper. Here I am again, not voting for someone, but voting against someone. The lesser evil is still evil.
Recently, another FReeper claimed we need certain endorsements for our candidates, such as Letterman or Leno.
I ripped this idiot a new butt hole.
Yea every once in a while I venture out and show my elitism since I attended college.
Mitt’s Twit.....
Oh, you’re the one out of 400,000 FReepers who attended college? I’d heard of you, but didn’t know which one you were.
Romney?????? No way, Jose.
they are kidding right? why do they keep redefining what the GOP is?
There’s only one thing I’d believe if Meghan McCain said it and that is: I’d like another GIANT helping of mashed potatoes with 3 lbs. of butter.
ROTFLOL
Please don’t post anymore mind numbed stupid articles about mind numbed stupid Meghan McCain. She deserves to fade into the wall paper.
Romney’s Bain Co. bought Burlington Coat Co. to get the building that Romney (Bain Co.) sold to the Jihadists to build the Victory Mosque at Ground Zero.
Romney helped the people who want to build a memorial to the Muslim Terrorists that destroyed the World Trade Center.
