For the past few weeks, Meghan McCain has been on the road with her father, helping him with the campaign. In the first post there was a video explaining what she has been doing and I thought it was good. Here it is:



The next post was another update from her father's campaign trail and she said that it was going well. She's having fun and at all the rallies there was a lot of energy. However,she said it was very tiring because of all the flying everywhere and non-action.
The next post was the recent Hofstra Debate (Jess- this is mike's brother's college and he went, just thought you would like to know haha). Meghan thought her dad did an awesome job at the debate. She said, "I am always proud of my Dad but even more so when he lets his maverick tendencies show so clearly." I thought this was an interesting quote because Sarah Palin constantly says maverick and it reminded me of her. Since Meghan said it, it sort of makes me associate her with Sarah Palin and how she is.

Meghan also said that " He got up and showed this country why he is the right person to lead it into the future, and open the door to the reinvention of the Republican Party." I agree with her. I only watched part of the debate, but during the part that I saw, I thought McCain did really well. I also think that he is not the "traditional republican."

The most interesting part, I thought, was that if McCain wins the New Hampshire and the overall election she will get a tattoo that says "Live Free or Die."

Political Bloggg

This is Meghan McCain's blog. Most of her posts are about her daily life. Some of her posts include her appearances on shows such as Jay Leno, Carson Daly, and Ryan Seacrest. Others are playlists of songs she likes. Her other posts are about her father, John McCain, and his political campaign. A lot of her posts are photos with a little bit of explanation.


I think this blog looks more professional than all the other blogs. It is organized well. The links are not all over the place but rather on the side in a column. The pictures are very clear. A major difference is that there is a disclaimer at the bottom which states that Meghan's blog is not affiliated with her father's campaign, which I thought was strange because they are related. The other major difference I noticed was that it was written well and the grammar and spelling were correct.


Meghan McCain does not really explain any political issues she basically just posts pictures while on the campaign or her basic life so I'm not really sure there is an issue to pick so I'll just talk about her last blog entry. The latest blog entry was about her trips to Oxford and Sacramento. She presented it with a small explanation and lots of pictures with a blurb underneath each one. She was there for a book signing and to help her father with his campaign. I think she did a good job giving a brief explanation but I think she should go into more detail. The picture with one sentence underneath are repetitive and annoying after a while but overall it was good.
