Following up on Alison's post, I did some research on Meghan McCain. As many know, Meghan has been blogging her father's campaign trail on McCainBlogette.com, a blog that features a Sex and the City-esque image of a woman on a computer with red high heels. Meghan offers a behind the scenes look at the happenings in the McCain campaign, while also commenting on pop culture and featuring a "Song of the Day" on each entry. Meghan's blog is more like a trip journal than a tool for propaganda, and to me, that is something refreshing.
By comparing Chelsea Clinton to Meghan McCain, I think Meghan has the right approach. Meghan is using smart tactics to appeal to the younger generation that might be inclined to vote for Obama or Clinton. Young women can relate to her writing much more than that of a politician's, and young men probably visit just to look at pictures of the eye-appealing Meghan (come on, you have to admit it's probably true!).
