[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."

>Last I heard, Megan McCain wasnt presenting herself as a candidate for the US Senate.
Last I heard, peabrain, was that she doesn’t have a long history as an expert political analyst or journalist - which is what is being covered here, not to mention her total lack of business experience.
And just what experience has Meghan had other than having a famous father? Has she ran a successful business? Other than stumping for her father, what other experience does she have?

Meghan McCain Nearly Overdosed on Drugs, Wants to Be
Honest About Her Flaws (VIDEO)
The 2008 presidential election was a bumpy road for a lot of people. Liberals were freaked out by the possibility of a Sarah Palin vice-presidency. Conservatives were freaked out by the prospect of an Obama presidency. (And they’re still pretty upset about this concept, if recent events are any indication.) But only one person nearly died from a drug overdose as a result of 2008 election-year-stress. And that person is ... Meghan McCain.
On ‘Chelsea Lately’ (weeknights, 11PM ET on E!), John McCain’s daughter showed up to discuss her involvement in the campaign. She revealed that her friend had given her a bunch of the prescription drug Xanax, and the instructions on the drugs said “FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY.”
“And the day before the election, I thought, ‘Well, this is a friggin’ emergency,’ and I took it,” Meghan said. Then she nearly OD’ed and died.*
