Meghan McCain ripped into Rick Santorum Wednesday on MSNBC, warning that he would stand no chance against President Obama.

"Santorum is on every level an unelectable candidate," she said. "I think for anyone the end goal should be beating President Obama. And if you want to put Santorum up against President Obama, I always say it's going to be an absolute bloodbath during the election cycle."

When asked whether Wednesday night's CNN debate would be Santorum's to lose, McCain said no on the basis that Romney is the frontrunner -- an assertion that looks less than solid in recent polls.

"No, it's Romney's to lose tonight," she said. "Romney's still the frontrunner. But I think this is going to be an ugly debate tonight. Santorum knows this is pretty much his last time to get national attention from everyone and he's probably going to act like a big child."

1. Santorrum will go overboard this time

and the nation will recoil in horror.

2. I think she nailed it RE: "his last time to get national attention..."

I do believe Little Ricky is going to be an complete showboat. Gingrich has nothing left (unless his sugar daddy keeps throwing money at him), so it's down to Santorum versus Romney, and it's going to be a showdown.

Joe Scarborough...of all people...made a great observation regarding Santorum. He can't control himself. That, ultimately, will be his undoing. Eventually people will get sick of the crazy.

3. Except for the

racists and fundies,they will fall all over him.

4. And they are the ones who will be voting in the primaries.

5. It'll be more like diharrea and bukakke. If there's blood in the Santorum you're doing it wrong...

horribly, terribly wrong.

6. Maghan's a Party Pooper. nt

7. So, they went through all of the "not Romney"s and could not find anyone suitable.

8. Tonight will be the "I can bash Obama harder than you can" night. The one with the ugliest

statements about Obama will win. Watch the applause and cheering as the gauge for who is doing the "best".

9. Wow, what insight Meghan McCain has on the state of politics...

She deserves to be a paid political expert because she is so well versed in the world of politics...

10. well, god forbid

that MSNBS ever have actual political scientists on to explain politics. Why hire experts in the field when you can get a random personality like McCain to give you their insights?
