McCain's daughter provides a blog's-eye view of campaign

** EXCERPT **

On the night of the hard-fought Florida primary, John McCain spoke about weighty issues - whether the Republican Party had lost its way and how he would fight America's enemies.

His 23-year-old daughter Meghan broke down the night's atmospherics on her blog. "What does it feel like to win the Florida primary," she mused. "It feels like the Doors song 'Break on Through.' "

That night as the ballots were counted, Meghan and her fellow "blogettes" - photographer Heather Brand and producer Shannon Bae - captured John McCain's private party in a Miami hotel suite.

There was the potential first daughter drinking a beer - "just trying to chill out a little bit in the hall" - as she gave an update on the state of the race.

Then to the inner sanctum: South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham shouting "Viva McCain! Viva McCain!" as the networks called the race; McCain sharing a tete-a-tete with his wife before heading to the stage; and Meghan popping the champagne cork for a late-night toast.

She may look better than Jenna. But she doesn’t compare to Jenna’s sister.
