Exclusive: Meghan McCain Writes that Palin Brought 'Drama, Stress... Panic' to Campaign
Sen. John McCain's Daughter: Sarah Palin's Rise Was 'Too Fast,' 'Too Easy'
Aug. 31, 2010
For the first time since the end of her father's 2008 presidential bid, Sen. John McCain's daughter Meghan McCain spoke out about Sarah Palin, writing in a new book that Palin brought "drama, stress, complications, panic and loads of uncertainty" to the losing campaign.
Though she writes that during the campaign she wondered if the loss "was Sarah Palin's fault," McCain told "Good Morning America" today in an exclusive interview that Palin was not the reason the campaign failed.
"I do clearly state at the end that we did not lose because of her and I'm speaking out now because I do have conflicting feelings about her," McCain told "GMA's" George Stephanopoulos. "She brought so much momentum and enthusiasm to the campaign."

Before Palin came on board, McCain said she knew drama was brewing.
"I had learned a few things on the campaign already, and knew that change always brought complications and chaos and sometimes a little entertainment. Drama was inevitable on a campaign and created almost out of thin air. Tempers were always flying, and feelings were always being hurt. There was no question that a running mate would add to the confusion and upset. There would be less time for fun," she writes. "But I couldn't have predicted just how serious it was going to get."
McCain admitted that during the campaign she stumbled when asked whether she had doubts about Palin's presence on the ticket and in the book said that Joe Lieberman was her favorite pick.

LOL, do you recall that during the weeks leading up to the VP announcement that the lamestream media was actually writing stories about M E G A being an asset to her dad .... BECAUSE she had a campaign blog.
LOL
LOL
It was so ridiculously funny, they were writing articles about the STUPID DRIVEL that M E G A filled that ridiculous blog with, the articles about it were almost worse than the blog itself.
Shut up and go away megen.
I voted for Sarah and the old fart.
No one can beat Meg Whitman for the most ludicrous book of all time.
Meghan the poor litttle rich girl who’s Mommie owns a brewery and Dad is a senator and she still can’t land a man. Do us all a favor and STFU.
I just KNEW Chubby would start flapping her piehole the minute Daddy removed her leash after the AZ primary...
I’d say Meghan’s ‘coming out’ story will be here in less than 18 months.
