Albums on her iPod, debate rituals, and the secret sauce to Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign.
Meghan McCain joined Alex on NOW today to discuss her interview with the Minnesota Congresswoman—who touched on topics she doesn’t often discuss.
Here are some of the answers we saved for the web exclusively – plus some behind the scenes photos from our shoot yesterday at Java Joe’s – the place to be in Des Moines, IA.

What a vapid softball interview. Go work for Fox News.
And the fact that Alex gave her so much time just now on air to gush over Bachman totally turned me off. Yeesh, are you kidding me?
And the lack of push back on the panel was disgusting. Way to go everyone.
Michelle Bachman is uber conservative and supports policies and ideas that are hurtful and hateful. Not to mention, a major league hypocrite. How much money does her husbands clinic that tries to "straighten" out homosexuals get from the taxpayers. How much money does her Father in laws farm get from taxpayers in subsidies? Did I miss the part of the interview when the softball pitcher asked her about that?
What a softball Fox News type interview. And then she says that Bachman is "more smarter"
then Palin? Huh? Keep her off MSNBC please.
Ms. McCain appears to have that chill up her leg effect (i.e. Chris Matthews) with Ms. Bachman. That's fine but during your table discussion Megan needed to get off her GOP moralistic high horse about fidelity. It's hard to imagine that being out there in the political world for awhile she missed the stories about her dad's prior wife and how her parents met.
We must draft, nominate and elect Sarah Palin president in the most crushing tidal wave of enthusiastic good judgment ever seen in the history of this nation. With that one bold move we will accomplish the dual goals of seeing America led by the greatest natural born leader in our generation, even as we witness the final implosion and last agonized shrieks of our endlessly lying extreme left loonies. Their entire movement, from the fabricated attacks on Bush beginning with 'Blood For Oil' to the crammed-down-our-gullets lies of Obamacare and the Shovel Ready Stimulus, have been nothing but one vile deceit heaped upon another. Such an absolute inability to deal in the truth or to face the facts of our situation and its solutions only proves that there is simply no place at the grown-ups' table for these diseased sputa. Good riddance to rubes and bad rubbish. Time to usher in the American Renaissance, carried in on the invigoratingly freshening breeze of President Sarah Palin.
