If I recall, the Republican machine touted Joe as the great truth seeker, the wise man in suburbs, etc. I do not think the Dems foisted him upon the Reps. I think when the Reps needed a golden idol to adore when their shiny candidates were tarnished. they raised Joe up for the crowds.

Meghan McCain, on the other hand, earned a Bachelor's Degree in art history from Columbia University and has literally had a lifetime program in politics.
And she seems to be a lovely young woman, both inside and out.

Meghan McCain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1. Many folks that work in the plumbing industry are not licensed. Totally "legal".

2. Everything's for sale, trust me.

3. He's a community activist..sound familiar?

4. The initial comment from "Joe" was a media event held in his neighborhood. He was playing catch with his son when the "would be president" showed up for another media opportunity.

I don't have any major issues with Ms. McCain....

She is probably correct. Still, the man was taken seriously by both McCain and Obama.
