McCain's Aunt: "He's Losing"

The Daily Beast:

McCain's 96-year-old Aunt Rowena talks to The Daily Beast about press bias and why she gets a kick out of Bill Clinton.

"He's losing," Rowena Willis, John McCain's 96-year old aunt said.

Her stark assessment, in an interview with The Daily Beast, echoes that of her identical twin sister Roberta, McCain's mother, who told a crowd at a campaign rally in Virginia this week to "pray for a miracle."

Well, one thing is pretty clear. Should McCain win the presidency, I'll bet dollars to donuts we wouldn't have to worry about Palin having to step up to the presidency. These folks just keep going on and on and on - like the energizer bunny! How wonderful it must be to live longer than dirt and yet still have your health and faculties. Must have some good genes in that family.

Cranky old women...'splains alot about John McCain!!!

It's the church lady!

Well isn't that special.

Afterlife is not far away. Lets see how well you are judged, when you tell the grand moderator that Obama wants to take the money away from the rich.

Like we really care about this 96 year old elitist opinion. How many 96 year old women do you know can or would buy a car in France because they were told they were too old to rent one. I'm quite sure she isn't worried about her social security, but there's millions of seniors that are.

Somebody give this old lady a prune juice martini, because she's either too uptight or needs to chill out from to many years of ignorance.

Well, look at her...all the wonderful upkeep a ton of money can buy-as well as the obligatory narrow-minded, elitist "I've got mine" old money mentality. If we "little peons" out here had the same access to tax breaks, tax shelters, and loopholes that the wealthy do, perhaps the changes that scare the monied folks so much wouldn't be necessary.

my 86 year old aunt can barely walk and get around why being black she spent most of her younger years on her knees scrubbing floors for women like these two because she could get no other work. She worked hard where is her money?

yeah fox needs them for a talk show.,..so that is where mccain's elitism comes from it is rampant in the family I can just imagine their conversations with their wonderful John

I'm sorry, but I love mcCains mother and now his aunt.
I couldn't care less who they are for.
I wish we saw more of them throughout his campaign.
They seem to be more interesting and down-to -earth than McCains 'other' female pickins.

I don't believe in wealth distribution or taking from the rich to give to the poor. People in good financial shape should help those less fortunate than themselves on their own if they are decent people. However I believe in fairness. I don't think it's morally right for those with millions to pay less taxes or to get bigger tax breaks than someone who makes 50 thousand a year.

Too bad the wealthy usually don't help, however, and they, instead, allow the homeless to roam the streets, hungry!!!

My GOD the kitsch! Too bad the McCain family didn't inherit some taste with their dollars! It looks like Aunt Rowena's living in My Little Pony's doublewide.

Astute political commentary from a world-renowned expert!

Does anyone recall Pauline Kael?

[Agentlady007]

No but I recall Isadora Dunkin.

[kewps]

Isadora Duncan? Or Isadora of Dunkin Donuts fame?

[PoliSci2008]

Spoken like a real, dysfunctional tight wad!!!! This is the same woman who purchased a 13 year old, malfuntioning 320i BMW for her grand-daughter's post , post, post, post college graduation gift.

Obama - Biden 08
A distant relative!!!
