Here at Politics Daily we've spent a lot of time considering the meteoric rise of 24-year-old Meghan McCain as a force within the Republican Party. Socially liberal, John McCain's daughter has proven a lighting rod for criticism within GOP circles for her calls to moderate and modernize a party that is now shrinking in every measurable category except for the devoutly religious. Last night, Ms. McCain appeared on "The Colbert Report," and turned in another controversial (and funny) performance that is sure to anger what is left of the Republican ranks.
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
