Meghan McCain admits to Romney 'obsession' in 2008 campaign memoir
Posted by admin / Under 2008 Summer Olympics
WASHINGTON -- On the day her father won the New Hampshire primary in 2008, Meghan McCain feared she would be arrested for removing Mitt Romney campaign signs from a Nashua street corner.

McCain writes that she "had gotten pretty sick" of seeing Romney's signs, particularly a cluster she and friends suspected had been strategically placed outside the McCain campaign's hotel.
