Meghan McCain Predicts ‘Bedlam And Hysteria’ If Santorum Becomes The Nominee
On Wednesday’s edition of Now with Alex Wagner, the eponymous host asked MSNBC commentator Meghan McCain if her party was in crisis. McCain trashed the Iowa caucus and dreaded the rise of surging Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum. “My father did not become the nominee having anything to do with the Iowa caucus. I find it completely irrelevant. If Rick Santorum becomes the nominee of this party, I mean, it is going to be bedlam and hysteria like you have never seen.”

With her over-the-top prognostication for the pending apocalypse in that scenario, McCain appeared to be channeling Bill Murray from Ghostbusters, with implying her party would be headed for a disaster of biblical proportions if it nominated the former Pennsylvania Senator.
Hot Air‘s Tina Korbe thought that whenever the blogette referenced her father’s “path to the nomination, she instantly (lost) points.”
What she seems never to have realized — and what, I think, makes her so aggravating to conservatives — is that plenty of Republicans look at 2008 and regret their nomination of John McCain. In large part, the stiff opposition to Romney stems as much from the fear of repeating the mistake the GOP made in 2008 — the mistake of nominating “the next in line” even when that “next in line” espouses troublesome views and hasn’t proved himself a particularly adept campaigner.
