Meghan McCain Still Talking, But Not About Palin (Video)

Meghan McCain’s been very vocal in recent weeks. Well, sort of. In addition to her recent interview with her mother, McCain made headlines last week when, in an interview, she refused to comment on her father John’s running mate, Sarah Palin. Apparently hoping that the 22-year-old had warmed up to the idea, CNN’s John Roberts this morning tried to pry some more information out of her. Unfortunately, McCain wasn’t biting. Asked if she had changed her mind on the topic, McCain offered this terse reply:
You know, I think just at this stage like I said, President Obama just got elected. There’s a whole new future out there for this country. I don’t really think I would like to look back on what happened during the election. All of these things that are coming out. I prefer just to move forward and look forward, and I don’t really have any comments on anything …
I think she is a fine woman. I got to know her pretty well during the campaign. She also has a beautiful family. I just would prefer not to comment on anything that she’s saying.
Roberts and McCain also discussed the aforementioned conversation between her and her mother, Cindy. During that interview, you’ll recall, Mrs. McCain took aim at The New York Times and other media outlets that had been critical of her during the campaign. One of the remarks concerned whether Mrs. McCain qualifies as a "Stepford Wife." Obviously, Meghan McCain disagrees and rushed to her mother’s defense: "She is a lot like me which is what I don’t think people normally get. And she is very fun loving. She’s got a really, you know, a fun sense of humor and it just never came across. And I was so sad that people are really surprised when they see that side of her."
Here’s the video of the conversation between Roberts and McCain:
