[Meghan McCain Fan]

Now Ms. Meghan McCain is anything but a young Britney Spears type "air head" celebrity. She is a 24 year old, 2007 graduate of Columbia University. She has already written regularly for Newsweek Magazine and has been an active political blogger since her father, Senator John McCain, began running for his party´s 2008 nomination.

She admits that she has only been a "real Republican for less than a year," and she is anything but a die-hard GOP conservative. She is a "moderate" that currently supports gay marriage, stem-cell research and in 2004, she voted for the Democrat, John Kerry.

What recently sent her to the forefront was her blog statements about the current pre-eminent spokeswoman "Diva" for the ultra conservative side of the GOP, Miz. Ann Coulter, and then later, her comments on the conservative talk-show host, Laura Ingraham. Her Blog comments on Tina Brown´s, "Daily Beast", really started some major interest that instantly got her an invitation to the day-time women´s TV talk show, "The View".

Answer: No.

Wow. Yeah Sarah is about 20 years older than Meghan. All four were in the picture and Sarah was just gorgeous. This must have been in the middle of the campaign before Meghan was hitting the donuts hard.

Todd Palin is a lucky dude. ;-)

Michelle Bachmann is pretty cute too and she ripped Geithner a new one a few days ago.

Large & b!tchy?

I don’t think so.

I live how the article highlights her job as ‘blogging’...

[Thommas]

What part of the Republican platform does she support? Is there any conservative issue that is at the core of her politics?

[libertarian27]

Maybe she can be the “Poster Woman” for the GAP

GOP? .....not so much....

The hands that greased the palm of the Columbia admissions office must have done likewise with the palm of the article's author.

OOPS!

We don’t need a McCain political dynasty. In fact, we don’t need any political dynasties regardless of party. Washington is beginning to look a little to much like the seat of the aristocracy as it is.

Well we can't ban Meghan from the Republican party so you'll have to give her this message. I'm sure the Huffington Post will be more friendly to you and her.

Well, if the stinking republicans become like her and daddy, then they can count on me not giving a penny or assisting one danged bit. If the stinking republicans think they can out liberal the expert liberals, they are stupid and even more stupid than I had thought. I am sick of these moderate republicans as they call themselves. They are simply liberals in sheep's clothing. RINOs.

No. Meghan's basically another air-headed political daughter. One of those Republican politician's children or grandchildren that Democrats drag out to claim that the GOP isn't attractive to old-line Republicans. But Ron Reagan isn't his father and Susan Eisenhower isn't her grandfather.

Meghan doesn't have much of a future in the party, and I'd be surprised if she still identified herself as a Republican in 5 or 10 years. I would infinitely prefer spending time with Meghan McCain than with Ann Coulter, but that's not saying much. I can't say that I'd undergo a root canal without anesthesia rather than listen to Ann, but sometimes the prospect looks tempting.
