Meghan McCain, hard to impress
Politico ^ | 2009-02-21 | Ben Smith

Posted on 02/21/2009 2:29:48 PM PST by rabscuttle385

Meghan McCain wasn't impressed with Michael Steele, or Sarah Palin, in an interview with ABC Radio's Curtis Sliwa yesterday:

On Michael Steele's New "Hip-Hop" Strategy:

"You know with all due respect to the new chairman, Michael Steele, I do not believe that is actually something that is going to work because it is premeditated...I think they need to rely on a message that is going to really stick with people of my generation. That message has to be equated in the medium of the internet, which obviously up to this point just hasn't happened."

On whether Sarah Palin appeals more to a younger generation:

"I think no matter who, in the next four years, becomes the prominent up and coming person -- Bobby Jindal, Gov. Huntsman -- there are lots of names being thrown around right now -- I think whoever gets to the point of becoming the prominent figure in the Republican party has to have a message that's simple that goes out...What the Republican party is not doing right now is having a message that can equally touch that point. Sarah Palin -- I hope she can, at some point, I just -- I think time will tell."

On whether she'll support Sarah Palin if she becomes the Republican nominee:

"I would support whomever the Republican candidate is in the next election."

“’I think whoever gets to the point of becoming the prominent figure in the Republican party has to have a message that’s simple that goes out...What the Republican party is not doing right now is having a message that can equally touch that point. Sarah Palin — I hope she can, at some point, I just — I think time will tell.’”

What the heck is she saying there? ???

Oops. I excerpted.

Here's the full quote:

"I think no matter who, in the next four years, becomes the prominent up and coming person -- Bobby Jindal, Gov. Huntsman -- there are lots of names being thrown around right now -- I think whoever gets to the point of becoming the prominent figure in the Republican party has to have a message that's simple that goes out. Hope and change was something that really stuck with my generation. It's something that's on bumper stickers and t-shirts. And it's something that was easy for people to understand. What the Republican party is not doing right now is having a message that can equally touch that point. Sarah Palin -- I hope she can, at some point, I just -- I think time will tell."

Still dunno what she's trying to say, though.

She described herself as “liberal on social issues”.

Why do we give a sh!t what Meghan thinks? Go back to high school where you belong and then come back when you grow up in about thirty years.

She's trying to appear intelligent and insightful.
Little Meghan, don't fret too much, in a few years Sarah Palin will show you and your pa how an election is won.

Meghan McCain is a moron. She already said she was a Democrat and only switched parties because her father told her to and he got the nomination. She wants to change the Republican party..NO THANKS MEGHAN..now go hang out with your liberal buddies

Another RINO revealed.
Let’s keep turning over the rocks. They will slither out, and into irrelevance.

Love your tagline - A Face in the Crowd is one of my all time favorites.

The title of this article doesn't really match the Meghan McCain quotes.

Yet, that won't stop some from taking the rag Politico's boob bait and running with it.

Thanks. I love the movie, too- especially the Vitajex commercials.

This is what passes for criticism these days.

The broad never said there wasn't such a thing as the primaries.

Unbelievable...really.
