[THIS ATTENTION-SEEKING DYSFUNCTIONAL CHICK NEEDS TO GO AWAY]
Meghan McCain: Christine O'Donnell 'Seen as Nutjob'
O'Donnell 'Making Mockery of Running for Public Office,' John McCain's Daughter Says
October 17, 2010
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."
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.
Amanpour asked political analyst Matthew Dowd about the curious backgrounds of some Tea Party-affiliated candidates that have come to light recently.
He said when people vote for them, "they are votes of passion. They are like crimes of passion, in that in the aftermath you think, 'maybe I shouldn't have done that,'" he said. "But in the middle of a time when the country is so angry at Washington ... they turn to candidates that are so outside, that many of those candidates are either nuts, or somewhat off or not competent."
"Republicans nominated somebody that's not qualified, that's probably incompetent, and has said some crazy stuff," he said. "The great news is, the Delaware electorate is probably going to send her packing one more time."

Meagan McCain states about O’Connell “She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business.”
What history has Meagan McCain got except she is the fat daughter of Sen. John McPain. and in my circle of friends Meagan McCain is known as a nut job.
The media keeps going to her because they know she will give tham a damaging statement about Republicans. her father should take her in hand , but he is just about as bad.RINO’s-——exterminate them ,by voting in real Republicans.
Ms McCain is her father’s daughter.
“She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business.”
OConnell has the same background as Harry Truman who went broke as a small businessman.
Meghan is a media whore and speaks for no one.
Any time one is faced with a decision, one should consider the worst case scenario.
What’s the worst case with O’Donnell? Well, she could turn out to be hopelessly incompetent or, I suppose, a loon. In the unlikely event that happens, she’ll be on her own (a senator requires consensus to pass legislation) until the next election when she can be removed from office. In a best case, she’ll be a reliable conservative vote.
Now with Castle, what’s the worst thing that could happen? He already votes against Republicans on important bills (the Castle “best” case) and in a worst case would join the Democrats outright. As another vote for the Democrat agenda, he could do serious harm between his election and the next election. With Coons, of course, one STARTS from the Castle worst-case scenario.
Bottom line: O’Donnell is the only choice that leads to the possibility of smaller government. Anything choice other than O’Donnell at this point is vote for big government.
Well, Meghan is someone I would surely go to for advice.
Maybe she can join and revive the Dixie Chicks...
I don’t have time to waste peeling rotten apples.
More than you, McMeggles. The only thing you've done with any success is eat.
Their big mouths did wonders for their careers.
>>> She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business. As opposed to Megan McCains long history of such..
Last I heard, Megan McCain wasn’t presenting herself as a candidate for the US Senate.
Hey Megan ,,,, WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ RINOs !!!!!!!!!!
Ignorance speaks
Last line should read, “Any choice other than ODonnell at this point is vote for big government.”
I should add that some Republicans are just as much in favor of big government as the Democrats. Many are probably hoping for an O’Donnell defeat. Anyone who opposes O’Donnell at this point is NOT a FRiend. Even if they think it’s a slim chance, she’s the ONLY chance of a conservative victory at this point.
I actually hope McCain loses this race
We got a near democrat anyway
Or join all those yapping harpies on "The View."

someone needs to inform megan that that’s the way it is supposed to be, Citizen legislators rather than career pols.
This Week has gone downhill since Stephie and now Christianne became hosts, but having Megan “Snooki” McCain as a guest is a new low. I think she wants to be the next Arianna Huffington or something...
This is as serious as ABC can get on political analysis? They are competing for the same demographic as Comedy Central.
Megan calling anyone a nut-job is laughable... She? the arbiter of rational thinking? HA!!
