Meghan Marguerite McCain (born October 23, 1984[2]) is an American blogger,[3][4] and the daughter of U.S. Senator John McCain. McCain began to receive media attention in 2007 for her blog, McCain Blogette, on which she documented life on the campaign trail and mused about fashion, music, and pop culture. In January 2009, she began writing for The Daily Beast.[5]

Early life

Meghan is the daughter and oldest of the four children of John and Cindy Hensley McCain.[3] She has been a public figure for most of her life, appearing at the 1996 Republican National Convention.[6] She was raised in Phoenix, Arizona and attended Xavier College Preparatory, an all-girl Catholic high school. She attended Columbia University, where she earned her bachelor's degree in art history. McCain originally planned to become a music journalist, and interned at Newsweek and Saturday Night Live.[7]

In the McCain campaign

McCain had previously described herself as an independent who is "liberal on social issues",[3][7] and has said that she voted for John Kerry during the 2004 presidential election.[7] She agrees with her father's positions on global warming and stem-cell research, and says she now agrees with her father's stance on the Iraq War.[3] She also supports gay marriage.[8] On June 12, 2008, McCain wrote on her blog that she had changed her party registration to Republican.[1] She said she did so "as a symbol of my commitment to my dad and to represent the faith I have in his ability to be an effective leader for our country and to grow and strengthen the Republican party when he is elected President of the United States."[1]

In 2008, she published a book titled My Dad, John McCain and has stated that she hopes to write a "satirical account" of her experiences on the campaign trail when the election is over. In an interview with Larry King on September 15, 2008, McCain stated that she has been too busy to have a romantic relationship while on her father's campaign trail.

In an interview with a blogger in January 2009, McCain was asked about her father's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate, to which she replied "Sarah Palin is the only part of the campaign that I won't comment on publicly."[9]
