Meghan McCain Not Impressed with CNN's Sarah Palin 2012 Question (Video)
CNN
Meghan McCain and her senator father, John, have something in common: Neither can say whether they would vote for Sarah Palin come 2012.
Ms. McCain, who has gained prominence for her Daily Beast articles, appeared on CNN last night and couldn’t tell Roland Martin whether she would back a potential Palin presidential ticket. Here’s the exchange, via GOP12:
MARTIN: Let’s talk about Governor Sarah Palin. She’s still in the news, whether it’s her former — I don’t know if it was son-in-law-to-be — talking and things along those lines.
A lot of folks are saying she should be the choice for 2012. Should she run, and will you support her running for president or for the GOP nomination in 2012?
MCCAIN: I honestly don’t think that’s a relevant question. I have to find out who is running in 2012, I mean, what — there’s broad personalities that happen. And it’s four years from now. A lot of things can happen. A lot of things can change. And I couldn’t possibly make a prediction about 2012 right now.
MARTIN: But is she someone who you could conceivably vote for because of what she stands for?
MCCAIN: I don’t know. I have to see who else is on the table.
John McCain earlier this month refused to say he’d back Palin. The senator, who picked Palin as his running mate last year, said he wanted to see who else would make a White House bid. Clearly the McCain and Palin camps still aren’t on the best of terms.

AGAIN… the headline is much didfferent than the actual story! What oart of her statement did you not understand?. Palin has not evrn indicated she is running! FOUR YEARS from now!
Good Grief……it was a baiting GOTCHA question to begin with!
It’s not an opinion. It is a cold hard fact. Websites run by O’Reilly, Free Republic do not publish negatives stores about conservatives and the comments boards are rigorously censored to prevent any criticism of right-wing policies and figures.
Go to Free Republic and try to post a negative comment about Palin and see what happens.
Clearly the McCain and Palin camps still aren’t on the best of terms.
And your point is? Or is this our daily exercise in Palin bashing?
Does anyone really care who Meghan will vote for… she’s one vote. The way Obama is conducting himself, the Republicans can put up Minnie Mouse or Donald Duck in 2012 and have an excellent chance of taking over the WH. I think 2012 is not going be a win for Republican as much as a loss for Obama.
Ok Ladies and founders of Wowowow - You don’t have to tell us who you hire as "staff". It’s obvious that you have employed laid-off writers from the National Inquirer and The Star. Your lead in is a dead give-a-way to that fact! Who really cares who Meghan McCain thinks will be up for the Republicans in 2012. Predicting the future is a very difficult business. Perhaps she has a crystal ball! Next you will print that she is a soothsayer!
Personally, the subject is moot. Your article is "stuck on stupidity". In fact it borders on descrimination toward Sarah Palin. And, Meghan McCain must also be stuck on stupid — she’s being used by the media and every ‘rag’ in the U.S.
As for your staff - Martin Luther King said it best…..
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity".

Ok I would have to agree…who really cares who Meghan McCain will vote for and she is only ONE vote…I am pretty sure her ONE vote wont change the polls even is SP runs in 2012, which she hasnt even said if she would…Why would the interviewer even ask Meghan this question, doesnt she have more to talk about then SP?
I can go back and there has been at least 1 article about SP posted on this site in the last month or two…that is pretty sad with everything else going on in the world.
I mean where is the article about our Captain who is still being held hostage? Or the fact that Obama is trying to get amnisty for Illegial Immigrants? Where are those articles, instead of this one…
Isn’t it a bit premature to start asking about endorsements for 2012?
Can’t people in the media think of other, more relavent matters to discuss? I understand there is an unlimited amount of webspace out there just waiting to be filled wil irrelevant data, but I for one don’t think that’s necessarily a good thing.
I will be filing this under "Who cares?"
Indeed. Four years ago, no body would have predicted Obama in the White House.
