It was probably one of the dumbest speech/q&a events I've ever seen. There is little to nothing between Meghan McCain's ears and it painfully showed when she ignorantly displayed her lack of knowledge on everything from the military-industrial complex to not even knowing what intelligent design was. When prompted by an audience member as to where the evidence is that the country supports her idiotic quest, she brashly proclaimed "I am the evidence. I'm recognized everywhere."

I thought her presentation was pretty vapid. She wouldn't or couldn't answer the questions of people who challenged her. "We're going to disagree on that, sorry. Next question" was her standard answer. Not a very satisfying evening.

Seeing that she isnt actually in government, she did great. She was a breath of fresh air and very personable.

Megan McCain isn't very knowledgeable at all. She danced around so many of the questions, just like her father, John McCain. I guess faking political intelligence runs in the family.
