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.
Do you like Ronald Reagan? He was for abortion before he was against it. As governor of CA, he supported pro-abortion legislation. He changed and ran as a pro-life candidate.
Romney was pro-abortion in the early ‘90’s but has now said he’s against it. Who am I to say he hasn’t changed? It could have been the same with Reagan.
I’m not saying Romney is Reagan, btw.
Well!
Let’s see the mittbots spin this into a positive. ;d

If were going on one-issue failures, Palins a quitter and shes a bad parent. I know lots of conservative and liberal parents who never had pregnant high-school students. If she cant run her home, how can she run a country?
One pregnant teen equals failure? Aren't you judgmental? President Reagan had a homosexual, liberal son, was he a failure? President Bush's daughters tom-catted around and drank before they were legal, was he a failure? President Lincoln's wife was as crazy as a sh*thouse rat, was he a failure? President Eisenhower had a mistress while running the European theater during WWII, was he a failure? President Kennedy got more @$$ than a public toilet, yet he cut taxes, was he a failure? The economy was pretty darn good during President Clinton's administration, yet we all know who Monica is, was he a failure? BTW, what does Bristol's pregnancy have to do with how her mother would lead our country, versus Governor Romney's promulgating socialized medicine while in office? Didn't he also assist Massachusetts to become a state with homosexual marriage, or was that some other cat named Romney? Did you expect her to chain her daughter to her bedstead and have an armed guard on her at school? Wouldn't the Democrats love that?!
