CNN

Sapwolf has it right, the country wants a choice, slavery vs freedom, socialism vs republic, government control vs free market enterprise.
With McCain, he was too much like the liberals, hence, the GOP lost. There is a reason why people over 40 prefer freedom, a republic style government, and free market enterprise. That is what has made our country great and provided the wealth and prosperity for our citizens. Take all that away, as is currently being done, and you will have mediocrity and a poor country. Think about it people. Our schools and universities have been brainwashing our children, and that is revealed in the way they think and vote. Hence we have an inexperienced charismatic individual who is clueless about how to lead a country, and who would rather be liked than make the tough decisions needed to get this country on track. We are in deep doodoo!

Everyone knows where they stand on Palin. Republicans who are against her are afraid to say it because the Palin camp and Rush will tear into them. Those that are for her are anti intellectual, anti choice bigots and losers. Palin herself is the most repulsive, grotesque reactionary to seek high office since Spiro Agnew. She is indeed running for president, mainly to try to undo the embarrassment she caused herself and the country during the campaign. However, as undeducated and inexperienced as she is, she's likely to cause scores of additional "cringe" moments. Finally, she's finished. She's unelectable both locally and nationally going forward.

I doubt most of you posters fit into Meghan McCain's target audience.
She is trying to engage the young crowd that tends to eschew the whole political process,and that can only be a good thing.The GOP obviously needs to update their brand name and having someone like
Meghan can only help their cause.
That being said,she will probably be tossed aside by a party so entrenched with ancient ideologies that will render her"persona non grata".Plus,she's hotter than that tooth-pick,vile,hate spewing tart Ann Coulter.

i bet she is smart...it is so obivious...with humiliating defeat...republicans lost with palin....wake up....Obama won with thumping majority...375/140??? what it denotes....Megan is right...100 percent...listen...we are in google era...people are aware of what is going on...unlike war strategies like republicans....we are all americans...party denotes nothing...here...

I am one Obama supporter who STILL does not like her or care what she has to say. Is this the same Meghan who stood there and enjoyed those hate rallies her old man conducted? She's a spoiled brat with no sense of responsibility or character. Please go away far, far away. She's a hypocrite with no ethics just like her mother.

Other than being the daughter of a guy who didn't even win the Presidency, who is Meghan McCain? A nobody. What has she done to deserve this airtime or space? Who cares what she thinks? Get a real pundit out there.

Who cares what this plangent oaf says or does not say.?

dont support palin, she defines idiocy.

I love the desperation attacks on Palin. Especially the "she sunk McCain's chances". Check your facts, the only time McCain led BuhROCK is after Palin's extraordinary (and not teleprompter-reliant) Convention speech.

She is also the highest-rated Governor, approval-wise.

Meanwhile, B.Obama has sunk the stock market and blundered like Quayle. Hmm, DVDs have region coding? DUH!

This girl is smart man.... she is really smart....

No doubt the USA is a country of conservative values. However conservative values does not mean being racist, religeous bigot, or mouthpiece of Corporate America. The Republican party lost due to its bigotries and pro-super-rich attitude.

Progressive conservatives like Meghan are the future of the Republican party. They alone can bring back the centre right votes that abandoned Republican party in 2008.

At least there is one Republican out there who isn't drinking the Palin Kool-Aid.

Frankly, the more we hear about the infighting between the McCain and Palin camps, the more I think Palin can't even count on the support of John McCain in 2012, much less Meghan.

Stay neutral Meghan. Because if you reveal how you feel and the right does not like it they will spin it to mean a repudiation of your Dad's choice.Family is important. Forget the left, we expect you to follow the party line even if it is below snuff, so whatever you say does not really make a difference to us liberals. The good that you could do for the GOP will not be accepted by those predominantly old, white men with equally old tired ideas.

Who cares about Palin or 2012?

Rey – I agree with you 100%
"Sarah Palin has more Brains than any Democrat?" She wishes! That will be the day! She can't have any brains period if she can't even complete a sentence coherently!
You betcha ya!

I think Palin is the MaCain secret enemy number ONE.

So when John McCain wouldn't commit to endorsing Sarah Palin in a presidential run .... what did that signal to all you praising Sarah so much!

That even Big John himself knew she didn't really have what it takes!

Meghan continues to show how much more intelligent she is than the senator from Arizona. She might have been adopted.

Why hasn't anyone asked the "McCains" why Palin was picked in the first place since they won't answer if they would support Palin again. That's the question most people would like to know.

I'm really tired of hearing that Meghan McCain isn't relevant. How is a high-profile young person already neck deep in the political machine with high visibility NOT relevant? And being a GOPer, however unconventional she may be, only gives more reason for her to be heard since there's not a relevant republican out there anymore. Her generation will be calling the shots in just a few short years, if they aren't already...I'd advise old fogies to take note.

god bless Mehgan McCain!

whether she says something or nothing it really doesnt matter because no one knows who palin would run against. so in that sense she is absolutely correct; if she endorsed palin the media would run that story to death.

It's too early to make promises on who you might support in the next presidental election. Stupid question. Smart answer.

Liberals see people who act with decency, respect, integrity, morals, values, and individualism as being the radical right wing fringe.

I think that says it all, doesn't it? If the libs see these qualities as being radical and dangerous then you have a clear understanding of what type of people they are and what they practice and believe is right. In case you still aren't sure then I suggest a visit to an ultra blue area. be sure to rent a car and drive around, you will then get a full understanding of what type of people the libs truly are. If you still want to side with them and support them after that, well then that's your choice, I just want all Americans to see and witness the truth.

First comment:: Who care whether Meghan McCain supports or doesn't support anyone? Who does she think she is, Caroline Kennedy? (actually she probably does have the same "I'm a bigshot because of my family" mentality).

Second comment: Did I miss something? As Election 2012 already started? Why does the MEDIA do this to us?

To all of you who say that Meghan McCain is not relevent - wrong. Any intelligent person of her generation is relevent (and in my view, she is pretty smart). I think you are confusing relevent with inexperienced.

I think it is very important that people of her age group have spokespersons. While she wouldn't have been my first choice, she has turned out to be surprisingly insightful on a number of issues. Yes, she gets media attention because of who her father is, but that in itself, is not bad. The fact is, she is giving a face to the people of her generation. It remains to be seen whether she uses the media attention for good (so far, so good) or for her own self-aggrandizement (not so far). The GOP could listen to a lot worse advice than what she is giving them!

This is alI McCain's fault for showing an incompetent govenor's idiosyncrasicies to the world.

She's doing the best that she can...leave her alone.

@ Rachel who said...........
"I'd rather have Palin than that idiot Obama any day."

Even when the article is not about Obama, you far-right-haters, manage to complain, demean and criticize our president!

But not so long ago, when Bush was in power, you GOPers would condemn any American complaining about Bush as UN-American or
UN-Patriotic!

Hypocrites!

Meghan, stay as far away as possible from Mooseburger Palin as she is a radioactive maverick, who kills political chances. Beware!

You saw how she helped your father!

this girl definately has more brains than most people i know!

Meghan is a fresh reminder that there are still some decent, intelligent Republicans left in this country. Unfortunately we're going to have to wait another 10-15 years before any of them are old enough to run for office.

Lets face it – she doesn't have a clue about politics... This is the problem here in the US – most of the political commentary on Cable news comes from country singers, preachers, retired athletes and military, and so-called celebrities. In most cases, I'd be better off soliciting the opinions of my two dogs.

"Megan you are being used by the left."

means: "Megan, you're saying something that disagrees with the far right and we need to demonize you for that"

My comment got removed and I don't know why..
Any ways...
Meghan McCain is not a real Republican and soon, the overlord of the Repuglicans, Boss Limbaugh, is going to put her in her place and excommunicate her from the party like the pope!
Anytime a member of the GOP says something that makes sense, or sounds even, fair and balanced, anytime the statement reflects logic and does not have the hateful venom that you normally see coming from this party...they are a RINO
Anytime you say to yourself "Hmmm, that sounds smart and well thought out" or you say "WoW, if there were more republicans like that, I would vote Republican" THE PERSON SPEAKING AIN'T REPUBLICAN!
I am not saying she is a liberal, but she is definitely not a Republican...

She talks too much, but she's cute tho.

Again, not relevent, not anyone with any clout....Just the LIBERAL media trying to do what they can to start something!

Ms. McCain has smarter and far more important subjects to discuss than that mouthy loser.

She's going to be voting for the Independent Party that forms from the moderate Republicans after the Republican Party splits in half, and that grows with support and defectors from the moderate-conservative parts of the Democrats.

Fitz: You can bet if they were saying anything negative, the vultures (aka) Democrats, would be picking their bones clean.

......... Don't make us give Texas back to Mexico

Dear Daddy's Little Girl,
Look, sweetie, your dad was a big shot, war hero, politician, presidential candidate... we get it. You, on the other hand, are a twenty-something celebutard, who (like your very nice, but somewhat dim, father) hasn't the slightest clue you're being used by a political force that will throw you under the bus the minute you are no longer useful to their agenda.

Doubt me?

Look at McCain's media coverage 1999 through early 2007. McCain was the liberal establishment's favorite "Republican" because he went out of his way to poke his fingers in the eyes of every CONSERVATIVE he met... basically, doing the media's dirty work for them. Plus, they could say, "Well he's even a republican and he feels this way."

Then, enter the media's handpicked "Chosen One" candidate, Barry Soetoro Dunham (the first and only American president who has gone by multiple aliases AKA "Barack Obama"). The media dropped McCain on his snow white, balding head, because they had annointed their chosen one and no longer had a need for McCain as their propaganda tool. And poor McCain, almost as dense as Kindergartner Baby Bush, was absolutely baffled why his "good buddies" in the media would treat him so thoughtlessly.

Wake up McCain family! You're useful idiots to the socialist cause and you haven't the slightest clue you're being used.

Meghan is mum, because she just doesn't have anything worthwhile to say.

>Sarah Palin has more Brains than any Democrat
Huh?
You must be joking...
I love as well how the individual who posted that tiny gem of informed thought also goes on to say Democrats are hatefull.
You republicans are a bunch of whiny cry-baby wussies...
Go suck your thumb, but try not to chgew on it, cause you have at the VERY least 8 years to do so

Sarah Palin was ans will always be an absolute fool, a mediocre looking pin-up model for the "Jesus wants me to kill you" crowd...

My boss who is a staunch republican and just a little bit rascist voted for Obama, because he sai dhe couldn't bear to see "that tyrashy hairdresser" in the whitehouse

Rush just picked Gov Pa;in and sanford as his picks...isn't everything and everybody else mote?

I don't think she's not answering b/c its her dads running mate. Let's be honest here, she has has spoke her mind on everything up to here. Why would she hold back now? Really I think asking who someone would support in 2012 is pretty dumb when we don't even know who all the candidates will be. That's what she is trying to say.

sounds like a very loud NO to me. and that's a good thing.

to joy and others: Obama setting up a dictatorship? really? that's all you got? insane ramblings? get a grip.

Seriously? Palin has more brains than Obama? Did she get them with the wardrobe during her campaign?

You mean the Sarah Palin that couldn't name one other Supreme Court ruling? You mean the journalism major as opposed to the Harvard Law grad?

Please, give us one inteliigent GOP'er. Just one. As much as they hate Ms. McCain, they do say that in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king. In this case, queen.

The GOP will continue to lose national elections if they run as Dem Lite.

The country wants a choice between alternatives:

Liberal vs. Conservative
Statist vs. Capitalism
Slavery vs. Freedom

Give us a choice, dont' give us the same choice.

I'd rather have Palin than that idiot Obama any day.

Rick – you are completely wrong about Meghan. She is not bashing her Republican Party but pointing out it's faults and ideoligies that seem to be stuck in time from a political era past. She offers a fresh new perspective to her party and it's next generation of young republicans that I find refreshing. The old dinosaurs of the party need to change their ways or move aside and let this next group lead without all the vile hate and fear mongering and obstructionism currently being used.

Why are you all so obsessed with Sarah Palin? Are you really that afriad of her running? You would never ask all these questions about a Democrat. You have an article on Palin everyday ripping her about her grandon and daughter or her beliefs. Give it a rest already. CNN has given no attention to any problems suffered by other candidate's children. What about Biden's daughter pictured with cocaine? Leave her alone. It's pathetic.

I'm sure after hearing of his daughter spreading some juvenile rumors, he put a gag order on Meghan.

Rick,
You know, people in the Republican Party have just as much, if not more, right to bash their own party as the Dems do. There are a large segment of Republicans who see that their party has been derailed from it's traditional role and used by radical right elements. Meghan has not "trashed" the party as much as she has expressed a very intelligent analysis that the GOP needs to change to meet the demands of the 21st century - with which I agree.

As for her supporting or not supporting Palin, from the quotes, she made a very intelligent point - it is too early to tell who will be running and who she will support. That's not waffling, that's not being indecisive, that's being smart. Expressing a preference this early is naive. If someone who she feels is better comes along, she would be accused of flip-flopping, if she stays loyal, she will be accused of being inflexible. So her only option right now is to stay neutral.

But I don't think you will see her supporting Palin, in any case. It may have slipped the notice of the Palin supporters, but the majority of the US - us NON-Americans, in Palin's book - do not like her lack of ethics, her lack of intelligence, her incapability of expressing a simple thought coherently, and her over-blown sense of self-importance. As well, I have some doubts of my own about her patriotism when she goes and delivers a keynote speech for a group whose purpose is to separate the state of Alaska from the United States, and to which group her husband belongs! I don't hate her, I just think she is incapable of handling an office at a national level.

The media is not slanted to the left; The Republicans are the ones who are doing the talking and the media is doing the reporting. It's not the media's fault the Republican Party has nothing better to offer than jokes like Palin, Jindal, Limbaugh, etc., etc.

Meghan McCain started this round of publicity by publically voicing her opinions on her blog. She obviously wants to be heard; if you don't like what she's saying, listen to someone else. If you don't want your party to be ridiculed, find candidates who can speak in complete sentences and read a newspaper upon occasion.

This reminds me of ...if you don't have something nice to say..don't say it. Well done Ms. McCain!

Yeah Megan....I had switched parties to democrat....but if more Republicans like you come out, I may switch back. We just need to get rid of the Palins (the not -so-smart conservative nuts)

if she has half a brain she won't support palin in any year.

The Republican Party shouldn't care what liberals (who currently control the Democrats) and the anti-religious bigots want the party to look like or think.

That is why there are two parties; the two parties have basic philosophical differences on the way to run government. The day the Republican Party takes advice from Liberals is the last day you will see this independent (non-party affiliated) support them in any way.

Liberals are winning the public relations campaign right now, but there will come a time when blaming Bush (and ignoring the fact that Liberals have controlled congress for the last two years) for all the current problems will not work with independents anymore. It already doesn’t work for me any more.

I think Meghan answered the question very clearly. By not jumping up and giving a rousing 'yes!" answer to the question, it's obvious what she thinks of Palin.

The Republicans have screwed it up badly, and can't seem to breatk out of the tail spin they're in. If they put Palin up as their candidate in the next round, the debacle will continue. And Ms. McCain is telling us all that.

Who really cares? This girl is just not relevant. Why is she constantly being featured on here? Baffling.

Why are we hearing so much from McCain's daughter? She's just another person with an opinion! Joe the Plumber, Megan McCain, Levi Jonston..............DUH!!!!! Not news worthy!

The only reason why this gets any attention is because she's the daughter of a prominent Republican senator and she expresses views that don't necessarily follow Conservative lines. The libs are just using it for divide and conquer, that's all.

The Nine Most Frightening Words in the English Language:

According to Ronald Reagan, "I'm from the Federal Government. Let me help you."

According to Bill Maher, "I'm Sarah Palin, now show me the launch codes."

How does anyone know who they'll be voting for in 2012? Right now, a bunch of Republicans are jockeying to position themselves to run but it doesn't mean they can or will. Remember Rudy, Fred and Sam Brownback – all of them ran but none of them lasted long.

Jumping the gun a bit as we don't even know if Palin will be running.

If she really liked and supported palin and had positve things to say about her, she would have, they are both republicans. Megan is smart and doesn't want to make her father choices look bad. If the republicans really want to change their image they need to follow megans path!

@ Rick, who said "she is constantly bashing the republican party. "

No, she's really not. You just have that old guard denial problem with the concept of accountability that forces you to refuse admitting that her honest, constructive criticisms are accurate. The longer it takes for the GOP to admit it's errors of the past 3 decades or so, the more likely there will be no GOP within the next decade or so.

Romney/Crist 2012

Hey G. SMITH, remember you are also American, this girl have more brains, the GOP power house put together. I really wish the GOP will listen to new and young generation in their party. I normally say the GOP's all speak from their stomach not fron their brains. They really need to wake-up from their sleep to realised that we are not in 20th century anymore, but in the 21st century. This lady will need to run for office, she have large following, maybe she needs to replace her father.

Who cares what this airhead thinks??????

I'm with Meghan McCain. As an ardent supporter of our current president, I couldn't tell you right now if I would support him four years down the road. Besides, Meghan McCain's support or lack thereof is not going to be a deciding factor for Sarah Palin.

Thatsthe same as a No!!!!!!!

Meghan,

You're a first class lady, and I admire the obvious restraint it takes to avoid criticizing Palin.

I was an early support of your father's and only withdrew my support after he had chosen Palin as his VP pick.

Since I'm from Alaska, I already knew how Palin would poison any well she drank from.

Hang in there and I hope you can change the Republican Party.

Hey, it's 2009. Calm down about 2012. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Meghan McCain is no dummy. Keeping quiet is a polite way of saying "Hell to the NO!", lol. And..... she probably doesn't want to stir up that hornet's nest by dissing her in the media.... can't say I blame her. The Palin Trash Talk Machine is in overdrive right now and I pity the poor victims (although I would be that Meghan could easily take Sarah in any battle, Sarah's short on wits.) But we get your message, Meghan.

That's a good response. She's 100% correct.

Anything can happen...

Sounds like sour grapes, "G SMITH". I find it amusing that the GOP is having a complete meltdown. Bottom line: You are irrelevant. Nobody cares about a failed ideology anymore. Go listen to Rush and cry....

I guess we can all take Cheney's excuse: "stuff happens".

Guess the girl just couldn't let Levi get one up on her.

What's so sad is these young adults let people use them. You can bet if they were saying anything negative, the vultures (aka) Democrats, would be picking their bones clean.

If Meghan McCain said anything positive about Sarah Palin, she would quickly lose that "strange new respect" that is immediately bestowed the MSM on Republicans, who trash The Governor of Alaska.

Anyone crazy enough to support Trailer Trash Palin, the queen of lies, cheating, shooting animals from helicopters, and per diem stealing, should have their head examined.

Anybody who says that the media is not slanted to the left needs to look at all of the Meghan McCain stories that have come out lately and, if you're honest, you'll have to admit that the only reason we keep seeing her is because she is constantly bashing the republican party. Otherwise we would never have heard from her again.

I agree with the individual who said that we should just hope we survive this next four years with Obama. He certainly appears to be setting up a dictatorship.

Pay attention to what he and his cohorts are doing to the American people – it better be stopped before there is no turning back.

OK! But Meghan McCain choice

If the Republican Party has a future, it is in young moderate Republicans like Ms. McCain.

@ phoenix86, who claimed "Had he been more traditional and values oriented, he would be in the White House"

Wrong. He lost because (a) the thought of Palin anywhere near the "football" scared the bejesus out of every single rational person in the country and (b) social conservatism is DYING. Open your eyes "my friend"...if the GOP continues to flagellate domestic issues with socially conservative answers steeped in religiosity, they will go the way of the mammoth.

Am a Dem and I like this girl. Lets hope this is the direction the GOP is going. We will all be better for it. I want to like the GOP again. We NEED two affable parties, not one at a time. We will get more done.

Sarah Palin has more Brains than any Democrat , we have an idiot in the White House and anybody who voted for him should get an education in Politics and Economics. Obama won the election in 2008 on the stupidity of the American People and we all have to pay for this.

By these comments we all know who the hateful people are, the liberal population.

Well, it appears at least one young GOPer has learned that when you have nothing nice to say, you should say nothing at all lol

I find this incredibly amusing. Megan McCain obviously doesn't think much of Palin but, since her dad supports Palin, she's doing the politic thing and keeping her mouth shut so her dad doesn't get mad at her. If she actually supported Palin, she'd just say it.

You know, she is a bit outspoken and I don't know, I think she should slow it down. I understand what she's trying to do and what she's trying to say, I understand. And she is a very intelligent and smart woman, I ain't gonna do her bogus BUT if she ever wants to find her man, she gotta do better than that...

And is not me being bogus but come on, she's making it sound like she's the microcosm of Republicanism and this is what they should do and so forth. If I was her, I'll just leave the GOP alone, they got enough problems and if they weren't best friends with her father, what makes you think then? I know what she's doing, I know what's she's trying to say but who cares about them. I'm sure she cares because is her fathers party but come on, I GUARANTEE you she thought about it when he was elected...ohh yeah, I can see it in her eyes and emotions, I'm just that good...

Yes, she is waiting to see if any of the other people running in 2012 are sane.

What are Meghan's qualifications to be put in the political spotlight like this? I find it obvious that she's using a mixture of her fathers name and tabloid-esque gossip (opinionated observations) to make a name for herself politically.

Anyone who knows right now who they will be voting for in 2012 is nuts. And committing support now, without knowing what the options will be, is foolish. There may be someone more Obama than Obama is. There may be someone more Palin than she is.

So Ms. McCain is only intelligent to hold her cards close for now.

The question was clear "if" she runs for President. Her answer is also clearly a "no", also if not spoken.

Meghan McCain ROCKS! And I voted for Obama. She is sharp as a tack, and comes accross as sincerely honest. If she ran for office, I just might consider HER for president in 2012.

If you really listen to Meghan you will hear that she's really not very insightful. Her opinion only seems to matter because she's John McCain's daughter.

She doesnt want to look as stupid as her dad I guess.

McCain's daughter, Maghen makes all the sense in the world to me. The Gop should cultivate young people like her for their future. She belongs to the future . To ask her about Palin or about her dad for that matter is anfair .

I believe that most politicians and voters know enough now to distance themselves from the hash and trash and the antics that went on during the Presidential Race.

I see the media is still beating this dead horse. Palin will not be on anybody's radar by 2011. If by some miracle she manages to get on a primary ballot, she will come in third or worse, and then, finally, be finished with national politics.
Meghan McCain is only around because people ask her opinions. Do we care? No, but she is at least able to finish a sentence and complete a thought.

Anyone with just a little bit of common sense will know that Sarah Palin is an idiot. She's a square peg in a round hole right now in Alaska. I'm sad to see a State like Alaska with so much of potential being mocked up by someone who has no clue of what is taking place. Having said that,I think Megan McCain is ashamed to put her father's decision to pick this idiot as his VP was trash.

No, she is not smart – she is being used by the press because of her extreme vulnerability and screams for the limelight! In other words, she is being used, just the same Levi Johnston is. Pity these people can't see the forest for the trees.

What the heck does anyone care who Megan McCain supports. It won't make a difference to me or anyone else. Really who cares.

I am a liberal and I think Megan McCain is on the right track, for reinventing the GOP. She is right in my opinion that the Republican party has been hijacked by extremists and religious fanatics. She is learning how to play the diplomat; in refusing to support any candidate for 2012. Why give, Sara the Pitbull, any reason to come after her; which Governor Palin clearly would. See how Mrs Palin is treating her grandbaby's father? I think, we all knew the relationship between the teenagers, was a falsehood, when they paraded Levi and the pregnant Bristol, at the RNC during the election. Most everything, Sara Palin says, is strictly motivated for political gain, personal gain, or just publicity. Sara will attack anyone, who disagrees, or criticizes her views with a vengence. Why would an intelligent, rational young woman subject herself to that and give the Governor what she wants? I'm glad they didn't ask her about Bobby Jindal. In 4 years hopefully there will be more numerous, thoughtful, respectful, educated young Republicans. We need views from all angles to continue our Democracy.

Phoenix, that is so not true. McCain lost because he ran a campaign based on half truths, outright fabrications and inciting a (hopefully) fringe element in America to the point where their rallies looked like a scene out of Mississippi Burning. He also made several mistakes, like saying our econmy was strong (right before it fell like an anvil in a Bugs Bunny cartoon), halted his campaign to accomplish nothing, and lastly, picked a MILF with no substance as his VP candidate. Not to mention his association and almost blind total support of W.

The only politician talking about 2012 is Palin (ad-nauseam). After that she'll be talking about 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028 and coming up with new reasons to blame others for her losses (MSM, Tina Fey, Levi, etc., etc.). The only solution is probably to sell Alaska back to the Russians, but they probably wouldn't take it if she's part of the deal.

My mom always said, "if you can't find anything good to say about a person, say nothing at all."

Meghan inherited her mother's, Cindy, class. If you can't say something nice about someone........don't say anything at all.

I caught 2 seconds of this interview last night and quickly changed the channel. CNN? Are you kidding? How is Meghan McCain remotely relevant to your audience? I'd prefer to hear from someone who has garnered political respect in some capacity. Who makes her someone I care to hear from if I want to better understand the Republican mindset etc. Maybe on Tyra but not on CNN?

What's funny about the Libs on this board is that there are no comments regarding the investigation of Jessie Jackson Jr, but the Palin story has over 60. Can you say "double standard"? The Libs know what's important don't they?

I am glad that Sen. John McCain did not win the last election. Just imagine if he won, you will see Sarah Palin and Meghan McCain on the tube and in most of the talkshows all the time. Whew........

M. McCain has made her points. I've seen her on Rachel's show, she's been on 'The View,' she's blogging for 'The Daily Beast.' That's enough. She is using her name to put herself 'out there' for her party. Don't let her use you Democrats and Independents. It's all politics.

Palin is not an example of what an American woman is. She is such a gimmick. Way to go Megan! speak your mind

Meghan knows that Palin is a joke and the only reason why Palin is even still being talked about is because the GOP hasn't learned their lesson from the last run. They are need to give it up and find someone else.

well, we all have john mccain to thank for introducing the world to sarah palin! and that must not set well on his conscience!

Her silence speaks volumes. Its clear she thinks palin is a NUT job, like the rest of the country. The woman is as ignorant as they come. I have a feeling the lying nut wont get re-elected as gov. She really pulled a lot of crap as gov, and the people here are done with her.

The question is stupid, and the response is a smart. I would be upset if anybody claimed to support somebody for president without knowing all of the facts. It's like Democrats voting for an all Democrat ticket just because those running are Democrats. Or Republicans voting for a Republican ticket because they are Republicans. People need to make a smart, informed decisions in life, and pledging support for a candidate in a race that will happen in 2012 is moronic.

The shock of Meghan is that we are not accustomed to hearing Republicans speak with honesty, fairness, truth and intelligence.

But yet your daddy thought that Sarah Palin was qualified to be a heartbeat away from the President last year. What a difference a few months make. First Levi, now this...

@Pel: Conservatives like Meghan won't cause any problems for Democrats in 2012 because she's in the minority. Plus, I saw the interview last night. She still thinks that all the Republicans need to do is use the Internet like Obama did last election and then the Republicans will win votes. She fails to realize that it IS the message not the messenger.

So let's see if this holds water. If Meghan McCain was as outspoken now, but supportive of Sarah Palin, or the GOP – the media would be covering her with an equal degree of focus, right? Come on, folks – give me a break.

Sarah Palin on the table with someone else? Film in 2012.

Who indeed cares about Meghan Mccain. Is it not time for Meghan to get a real job?

republicans, hahahah the party of saying any and everything and do nothing, hahahah, the obstructionist on the right wil never do the right thing even if it means voted out of office and have a moral and honest heart, nope.

Oh come on....If you want to be the new McCain Maverick you have to take a stand. You can't stand her anymore than the rest of the world. If you have the maverick in you to say that, then I know you are doing the media circuit for the right reasons.

Megan has way too much class to support the trailer trash wing (sarah palin) of the Republican party.

If Megan runs for office she will get a lot of votes from all citizens if she keeps up with the intelligent, honest approach.

"This is such a great young woman who could teach the GOP how to THINK and for sure how to ACT!!!!… and within a few years how to LEAD!!!"

Sorry the GOP is the anti-lib party. The left is all about telling people exactly how they should think and act, the right is about each person being an individual with their own thoughts and views.

I would hope that the right would continue to act the opposite of the left. Living in Jersey you see how libs act, they are the most hateful, selfish, rude, disprespectful, dishonest people in this nation. It is great to see the libs here talk about how republicans are liars, haters, and racists. Those 3 words can actually have meaning and be truthful if the lib who is saying them would look into a mirror.

She is correct it is not relevevent but it is consistent with GOP policy.

I thought Cindy McCain was a complete "air ball," until I started listening to her daughter Meghan. Cindy has done a great job raising this girl.

Well said Meghan.

BTW, you're absolutely gorgeous. wow!

Why would anyone support an airhead like Palin?

So Sarah Palin is "what an American woman is made out of."

That's an insult. You are saying that American woman are self-serving, ignorant of the world, semi-literate, bigoted and divisive.

Megan is being politic. Something the current GOP doesn't understand.

Meghan McCain is smart enough to not buy into that line of questioning. After the failed 2008 campaign effort and subsequent repulsive non-stop string of Palin screw ups, it would be political suicide for the GOP to nominate her as a candidate in 2012. Recycling is good, but not for that politician. Once was enough.

2012? Seriously? How about we focus on fixing the economy so that we can ensure we'll still have the United States in 2012?

I like this Meghan even if she is a republican. I suspect that she's more democrat than republican though. Of course she's not going to support Palin, would anyone in their right mind support the vapid Palin? Come on folks, the joke's over. I assume the America now realizes that Palin is not very bright and that a potential presidential bid would only end in failure. Actually, I hope she runs, it's would be so much fun to watch her once again flounder as she finds herself in way over her head. Do you think she's at least reading a newspaper now?

John McCain would have done better had he picked Meghan! She's way smarter than Sarah!

Good for her! As she said- it's four years from now. Can we please not push election starts as far back as we have Christmas- Oh by the way- Happy Thanksgiving!

why does anybody care what this woman thinks?

Whoc ares? Megan is nothing more than the child of a politician. She has had her 10 minutes of fame on her daddy's back.

Her dad lost the race because he didn't galvanize the republican base, and running on a platform of "I was against my party" doesn't get anyone energized to go out and work for his election. That said, McCain got 46% of the popular vote. Had he been more traditional and values oriented, he would be in the White House (and America would be in much better shape domestically and internationally).

But he lost, and we can wait until 2010 to remove Speaker Pelosi and then 2012 to remove Obama.

Roland Martin asked a stupid question/s, and got the answer he deserved. His rephrasing a question is very transparent.

If Meghan is the future of the party, I will vote 3rd party.

This is news? Get with it CNN–the country is going down the tubes by leaps and bounds and all you can do is ask this fool about 2012? At the rate we're going we may be a 3rd world country by 2012 and won't even have elections but a dictatorship instead! Get back to the REAL news–not the pseudo news.

At least she isn't one of these mindless morons who are already putting their vote behind an Obama 2nd term, only months into his first. Sheep...

"Meghan McCain mum on potential Palin Support", let's just all follow suit !!! On Palin period !!!

Meghan is trying to avoid the wrath of the GOP machine. She saw what she has aready started by her preivous comments and is trying to hold her tounge. I think Meghan is correct in her assessment. The GOP needs to change who it is. They used to be the fiscally conservative party, but Bush destroyed that idea. Currently I view them as the scare-mongers who try to frighten you into voting for them. The GOP needs to cut the Coulter/Hannity/Limbaugh/Palin faction lose and go back to economic conservatism and maybe become more liberal in their social stances because they are on the wrong side of every one of the social issues.

This addiction with Sara Palin has got to stop. The ex-boyfriend is surely looking for a book or movie contract entitled "Almost The Vice-President's Son-in-Law". And does it matter who plans to support Sarah Palin if she should decide to make a 2012 run for the White House?

Why does the left continue with the Palin soap opera? Who cares. Levi is a turkey which doesn't say much for Bristol either. Let's think about more important things. The odds of Palin running in 2012 are small. Why expend more energy to discredit her? The election is over. Move on.

Smart Lady!

I wonder why the McCains till today can not admit that Sarah Palin was the worst decision the old McCain made for his campaign?

Is it so hard to say they are not supporting her anymore? is it so hard to say that almost every other candidate is definitely has better qualities?

Please McCains, say it.. you will be proud!! and will not feel guilty anymore!!!

come on, it is almost four years away.

What do you expect her to do? Of course, everybody should wait and see.

I really did not get this news!

I agree it is too early for Meghan to offer a comment; however, she seems to have a lot of common sense. I doubt she would support Palin.

Very Wise Answer!!!

Finally some one has told her who butters her bread , silence is a virtue when you are uninformed dearest.

I honestly think Meghan McCain supports President Obama.

Megan seems like a smart woman (who CAN complete a sentence). Which means she has palin beat already. She probably didn't want to say what others and the American population in general already knows, palin is an idiot, liar and still can't complete a sentence. I know there are other women in politics that are WAY more qualified to be president then palin. PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Had mcsame put more time into picking a running mate we would not have been forced to endure that alasken idiot.

To question people on the 2012 election is irrelevant and irresponsible. Man we are so tired from the past election that to ask a question like that is utterly pointless.

I would be "mum" on her as well. She's the biggest flop there is and in my personal Opinion she is a huge Lair! She has a lust for higher office but she basically ruined her chances. Palin should have turned the offer down immediately she wasn’t ready period.

Worst embarrassment then Dan Qualye! It was so obvious that she wasn’t qualified and she wondered why John McCain and Camp didn’t want her to do interviews. However he did pick her out of desperation and she basically proved to the US that she was appallingly ignorant. Just look at the interviews she gave after the election and now fussing with an 18 year old. I must admit I did attend one of the rally's out of curiosity and changed my vote preference when I left because I felt she was enjoying the limelight and was not prepared to be in the White House with all the drama that was surfacing and she sounded silly!

I couldn’t believe, how scripted she was during the debate not answering direct questions – she acted like the two teens that she promoted as being in love throughout the entire debate or should I say the Sarah SNL Skit. Can’t call it a debate because she was just pitiful.

Her silence speaks volumes!

I bet she has been told to keep her trap shut. Otherwise, she will be exploited more by the liberal left media.

Seems to me we have all heard enough from the McCain's daughter and father about Sarah Palin, and we certainly heard enough from her, give it a rest. Enough is enough!!

She sound like a very smart young lady who has been hurt how the media and Mrs Palin has commented about her dad.

Also, some of her earlier comments give the appearance she is one of the new thinking Republican and is not a Fox News, Newt and Rush Repug which is great. I am happy she has separated from the hate gang.

I am a Democratic(liberal) without an apology. She will be the type thinker that could cause problems for us in 2012.

Well, my mama always told me that if you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything. Looks like Meghan got the same advice.

Well it makes sense that she doesn't want to decide who to back until she sees who (else) is in the field at the time of the election.

I haven't decided yet either, can I get a story on the ticker?

I'm sure Sarah probably got on her nerves during the campaign

Why would anyone support an airhead like Palin?

That is a very smart move on her part. Don't be bullied!!!!

She's right1 A lot of things can happen.....and one of them will be Palin falling off the face of the Earth....we hope

Sarah Palin is just the gal to lead the Conservative Party into a well-deserved and, hopefully, final oblivion. Go, Sarah, Go!

"There's broad personalities that happen." she says.
Sometimes a blonde is a blonde.

Maverickette?

She's right. That question is ridiculous. How could she possibly know who is going to run and who she is going to support?

Does anyone else see any issues with the media and this?

If you can't say anything good about a person don't say anything at all.
A picture paints a thousand words.
Silence can say a whole lot more.

Why does the media continue to report stories about 2012 election? Is there not enough going on in today's political world to actually do some journalism and reporting? This story is irrelevant to current American political news.

Megan you are being used by the left. Why else would they be asking someone with no experience at all to discuss anything. You don't know a thing about working people or how anything effects us. You do not speak for the Republican party, you are not a conservative, so stop trying to alter our beliefs because WE WILL NOT CHANGE, WE STAND FOR OUR BELIEFS!!! It's embarrassing watching you on CNN speak, as if you have a clue what you're talking about, you're being USED, give it up.

Obviously, Meghan knows that if you can't say something nice...don't say anything at all. Sometimes saying nothing speaks the loudest.

Meghan McCain is smart enough to know that Sarah Palin is the Paris Hilton of politics. Palin is virtual suicide for the GOP.

I love Sarah to death. She's what an American woman is made out of, but she DOES not have what it takes YET. We will all be better off with a Huckabee or a Mitt. Huck 2012! They have made tough decisions before and they have a robust background to prove their tough decisions.

This is such a great young woman who could teach the GOP how to THINK and for sure how to ACT!!!!... and within a few years how to LEAD!!!

She is embarrassed by Palin like the rest of the country.

Meghan is one smart cookie.

If Republicans had more fresh faces with pragmatic ideas instead of dogma, they wouldn't be the laughing stock of American politics.

Who cares about Meghan Mcain or 2012?

It seems to me that Meghan is a smart cookie who thinks for herself. There's no way the McCain camp can come out and declare that Palin cost him the election, but that might be how Meghan sees it. I think her hesitance to respond indicates she's NOT a Palin supporter.

As we saw in the Meghan McCain v. Anne Coulter battle, Meghan is not a fan of extreme right-wing politics. I would put Palin and Anne Coulter in the same camp, so I'd bet Meghan is not a fan of Palin....
