In a battle of two lightweights nobody wins. Meghan McCain had some harsh words for Christine O’Donnell yesterday:
“I just know, in my group of friends, it turns people off because she’s seen as a nut job,” McCain said on ABC’s “This Week” program. “It scares me for a lot of reasons.”
The daughter of Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain said O’Donnell’s candidacy sends a message to the younger generation that you can just “wake up and run for Senate,” regardless of past experience.
…
“Christine O’Donnell is making a mockery of running for public office,” McCain said. “She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business.”
OUCH! It hurts ’cause it’s true. Not that Meghan McCain has vast experience doing anything except milking her famous connections (much like her father).
Christine O’Donnell, being the class act that she is couldn’t let it alone and responded:
“Christine overwhelmingly won her primary battle against the establishment candidate, so Ms. McCain’s vast experience in politics and running for office probably won’t influence many Delawareans of any age to listen to her latest rant,” Matt Moran, O’Donnell’s campaign manager said in a statement.
That was kind of muddled but I do believe O’Donnell’s camp said McCain doesn’t know what she’s talking about because she hasn’t run for office. Well, that is one thing O’Donnell can claim experience in – she’s run for office as a career since 2006.
