Meghan McCain sharply criticized Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell on Sunday, calling the GOP nominee someone "seen as a nutjob." Speaking on ABC's "This Week," McCain blasted O'Donnell and expressed deep concern that she was able to capture the Republican nomination.
"My problem is that, no matter what, Christine O'Donnell is making a mockery of running for public office," McCain said on Sunday.
"She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business."
McCain added that "what [O'Donnell's success] sends to my generation is: one day you can just wake up 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."

...And for the grand finale
McCain added that "what [O'Donnell's success] sends to my generation is: one day you can just wake up and run for Senate, no matter how [much of] a lack of experience you have.

It "scares" her that anyone can "just wake up and run for Senate"? Now, if that isn't one of the most blatantly highbrow, pompous, elitist statements I've heard in a while! And, knowing that's how she feels certainly doesn't help the case of her "group of friends" seeing O'Donnell as a "nutjob".
Regardless of how you feel about Christine O'Donnell, I would be more cautious of this spoiled little brat. If you question that observation, take a look at this excerpt from her book. You will laugh yourself silly at the whining of this impudent child.
So statesman-like, Meghan....edit on 17-10-2010 by WTFover because: BB code correction and added last line

Did you read the OP and the sources it addressed?
But, since you brought it up, how do respond to Ms. McCain's "ad hominem" arguments in opposition to O'Donnell? After all, she is the topic of the thread... not me.

This from a woman who, in her recent book "Dirty Sexy Politics", openly admits to stealing campaign signs? Who's book blurb contains suggests she sees "how far the Republican Party has veered from its core values of freedom, honesty, and individuality"?

You like Christine O'Donnell so you assassinate the character of anybody who criticizes her. It's easier to do that than to come up with a rational, reasoned argument in her favor.
