"Bottom line? Mitt promised me more FOOD."

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.....

‘McCain enjoys a devoted following among independents, moderate Republicans and young voters’
It is amazing what you can learn on FR.
Romney’s a moderate? Someone needs to light the Captain Obvious signal.
Tina Molly Lang? She like 13 from the Valley? Like? What a moronic article on a fatty nobody. Yeech!
"Bottom line? Mitt promised me more FOOD."
“Hey, Milt, take a second from signing your co-DNC-written bills.
Listen to this!! Meghan McCain endorsed you as a ….. ‘moderate’."
“WHO CARES ABOUT THIS MORON?”
No one pays any attention to her. Meahan McCain holds no public office. Does she even have a job? Young people don’t like her. Freepers certainly don’t like her. She was even mocked by comedienne Tracy Ullman. Ignore her and maybe she will finally go away.
Tina is a violinist, violin teacher, and recent Yale music grad. She is also a freelance writer for arts and entertainment, classical music.
Well, the article is referring to her father’s fanbase, not her own. I don’t know if John McCain’s had any approval ratings taken recently, but their source was probably that traditionally this is the voter’s he’s drawn - liberal republicans and independents. I’m not sure how “devoted” they are now (or ever were) but that does fit the demographic that supported him in the last campaign (plus conservatives who once again felt the need to plug their noses and cast a vote against Obama).
As for Meghan McCain, I have a hard time believing much of anyone cares what she has to say. This article is only worthwhile to the extent that it’s the sort of thing to make Team Romney squirm as they try to cast their candidate as an actual conservative.
I am just awestruck by the level of vapidity inherent in the headline here.
“Endorsed by Meghan McCain” There’s a slogan to build on.
Not true. Look at the full paragraph I excerpted--the reference is clearly to Meghan McCain:she is the subject of the previous sentence, and the one I excerpted doesn't then say "And her father..." or "And Senator McCain..." So it's to Meghan.
be careful what you wish for bump
