You have to hand it to Meghan McCain.

While her Republican colleagues hem and haw about Christine O'Donnell their candidate for senate in Delaware she gets right to the point.

Kind of like her old man used to be actually. At 26 she's a chip off the old block, (they are pictured above), and may well have a political career ahead of her.

McCain said O'Donnell is "seen as a nut job."and is "making a mockery of running for public office."

About time someone called a spade a spade don't you think?

Christine O'Donnell is not fit to run for dogcatcher and the world knows it.

Anyone who opens a campaign ad by saying "I am not a witch" has already lost all credibility.

It is appalling to see some Republicans try to cover-up for her.

Karl Rove said something similar to McCain but was quickly hushed up by the powers that be.

On ABC's "This Week," McCain also 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, who is author of the new book, "Dirty Sexy Politics."
"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.

And a nut job she will continue to be.

McCain has done the Republican Party some service by forcing them to examine how someone like O'Donnell gets elected.

McCain also believes that political inexperience is dangerous to the nation, but since many of our problems have been caused by entrenched experienced politicians, take this, like almost everything else she says, with a grain of salt: McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said that the message, “that sends to my generation is: one day you can just wake and run for Senate, no matter how [much of] a lack of experience you have. And it scares for me for a lot of reasons.” “I just know, in my group of friends, it turns people off because she’s seen as a nutjob,” she said. ---- Anybody can run for political office, and I thought that was a good thing because it was intended to keep the elites from having an unbreakable grip on power, occasionally resulting in dingy kids with unmerited Sunday morning talk show clout. That’s not the kind of progressive, open-minded “just way left of right-of-center” thinking on which Meghan McCain claims to pride herself. --- In any case, that “nutjob” is out-raising Harry Reid’s pet by a two to one margin.--- Did I just waste time talking about what Meghan McCain said? Sorry about that — time to go watch football now! ---

This is a disgraceful article. Meghan McCain is a spoiled rich brat. The only reason you would print anything she says is that she will regularly bash real Republicans, and this is your reason for existence.

A BETTER article than this democr-ass-kissing commentator could ever dream up. Couldn't post the link but just google Doug Powers and get a load of the pic the author posted to remind himself of inflating his tires...HA, HA, AND WELL DESERVED HA! ABC billed their “This Week” program this morning as featuring “four powerhouse guests.” One of those four “powerhouse guests” was John McCain’s SUPERGENIOUS daughter (if it rains today it’s because David Brinkley is up there weeping at what his show has become), who offered some powerhouse insights on the Delaware Senate election: "Meghan McCain, author of the book “Dirty Sexy Politics,” said Christine O’Donnell, the Republican candidate for Senate in Delaware, was real trouble. ---- “Well, I speak as a 26-year-old woman and my problem is that, no matter what, Christine O’Donnell is making a mockery of running for public office,” McCain told anchor Christiane Amanpour. “She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business.” --- IN THAT CASE, O'DONELL SHOULD FORGET ABOUT THE SENATE AND RUN FOR PRESIDENT! Maybe I’m just in a grumpy mood, but it’s annoying when people have to state their own age and sex to remind listeners who they represent. “I speak as a 26 year old woman…” Well no kidding! Actually I think Meghan McCain speaks as a 17 year old valley girl, but what do I know? -- continues.....

She may be all that was said...BUT, her "Republican" opponent in the priamry election was a RINO who voted with the Dems in most inmportant issues; and they would, at least, know where an established Dem was coming from.

Christine O'Donnell does not need anyones help to prove her character flaws. She has a staff and the GOP /tea bags to do that for her

The Ms. McCain states "seen as". You state in a definitive manner. The only way that your statement is not libel is to use an incorrect quote from a third party. She has shortcomings. Karl rove should be the real target based on innuendos found on internet sites and his links with Mehlman.

Did Meghan Mc Cain ever do something foolish in her young life? Or will she, in her life as it goes along? If she ever does run for public office, the foolishness will come up and she will be the "nut case". In fact she should keep her mouth shut unless she has proof positive from a psychiatrist that O'Donnell is not fit to be a dogcatcher. I don't think dogcatchers are that mixed up. Everyone should have a job to do and do it to the best of their ability. What job do you hold Meghan? Haven't heard much about that lately, to put you in such a position to judge anyone..... Especially at your age. Just because your Daddy is a Senator, doesn't give you any privlidge as to your knowledge of a candidate. So until you've got something to back up your claims... Be Quiet.What O'Donnell said,was refuting a campaign lie about her life. So ..... nuff said. Remember.... What anyone sews, they reap.

I would really like to know just what qualifications Ms. McCain has that she should be listened to by anybody? If she were a liberal pundit, she'd be at the end of a long line of O'Donnell bashers. Because she's supposedly a Republican, which I truly doubt, the lamestream media gives her a platform. Once her father exits the stage, she will be totally irrelevant....let it be up to the voters of Delaware who they want to represent them in the U.S. Senate. If the voters want Obama's big government "We'll take care of you" philosophy, then vote for Coons...if you you want smaller gov't, lower taxes, less reliance on the Feds, vote for O'Donnell...this is the one and only issue in this campaign. Saying someone is a "nutcase" is ridiculous. We all know where they stand, let the voting begin!

Givens: The McCains are ALL washed up. Pitiful! O'Donnell is an ignorant prole I wouldn't even want for a neighbor. The once and future US Congress and Senate are disasters. Both are broken beyond repair. The fear here is that we're headed for a Reign of Terror brought to you by the Right-wing wingnuts.

McCain herself is a Nut Case! The McCain's are not Irish... they are not Catholics, we never see them at Irish events in Phoenix with one exception...McCain did a promo video to raise money for a new library at our Local Irish Center. The library fund was established by an Irishman who is a wealthy WASP who is all about the Brits! McCain may have an Irish name, but it ends there! Other than that do not be fooled by McCain or his loud mouth daughter who needs to get a real job and stop using her Father to advance her own agenda. Megan is a spoiled rich brat with nothing more than a loud mouth who needs to go on a diet! She has no room to criticize....

As a Delaware voter, I can confirm that Christine is a nutjob. However, there are serious issues regarding Christine that go beyond her more interesting opinions. She has yet to answer the questions regarding her use of campaign funds for personal expenses or her failure to report these diversions of funds to the IRS as income. She has done nothing but run for the US Senate for the last 6 years. She has never held any elected office or any position of responsibility in private industry. Her personal finances are a mess. She is an embarrassment to the Republican Party and to the state of Delaware.

Megan McCain is a nobody. Her dad is a wanna be republican, but we all know better. He is just about washed up, career is over. O'Donnell has the views of the Republican Party, and will do just fine. Look what they put in there, OBama who has no clue how to run our country. At least her views are not insane. OBama would do us all in.

Megan is a RINO just like her father. O'Donnell has conservative values. O'Donnell was making fun of the liberals calling her a witch. Good Job Irish for taking things out of context. This is partly why Ireland and the US is in so much trouble. The liberals have to lie in order to get anyone to follow.
