Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, and Whitman, the former CEO of eBay, were advisers, fundraisers, and spokeswomen for the McCain campaign and now are running for office in California: Fiorina for Senate, Whitman for governor. Meghan McCain, who burst into the public eye by blogging her dad's campaign, is a writer and emerging ...

Meghan McCain: Harsh Treatment Discourages Female Politicians
By David Sessions - Politics DailyIn a column on The Daily Beast, Meghan McCain argues that the steep price women pay for being in politics is a disincentive for trying to break barriers. "It's a dilemma that I and every woman of my generation face," McCain writes. "We want to be involved in politics -- perhaps even run for office -- but it's a steep price to pay. One day there will be a woman president, we are all told as little girls. You too can be a congresswoman or senator. But the reality of today is that to do so, you have to give up so much, in a way that is never asked of a man, and I believe running for office has ...
Meghan McCain Takes Heat on Twitter for Tank-Top Photo
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyMeghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain and a writer for The Daily Beast, has threatened to quit Twitter after a sexy self-portrait she posted on the popular micro-blogging site stirred controversy. The picture on her Twitter page, accompanied the words "my spontaneous night," prompted an immediate backlash from some of her 60,000-plus followers on the site, prompting the controversial but prolific McCain to post a series of comments defending herself and, ultimately, threatening to shut down her feed. In one Tweet, she said, "so I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I ...
Meghan McCain Lashes Out at Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyMeghan McCain told Michelle Malkin Tuesday that she would not "shut up" and that the Republican Party should be more inclusive of moderates like herself. The attack by McCain, the Republican daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), against conservative Malkin is the latest battle in this year's public war of the Republican women pundits. The latest name-calling started on Friday when, according to McCain, "Malkin was asked which conservative political figure or commentator needs to shut up. Guess who her answer was? Yeah, that's right -- yours truly." ...
Stuart Smalley, More Sanford and #PdF09: Politics Dailies - June 30
By Michael Kraskin - Politics DailyA great writer says goodbye to Reader's Digest to explore writing for a bold, new politics website full time. Did Mark Sanford's mistress, Maria Belen Chapur, have a domestic rendezvous with the S.C. governor? Should we really expect our representatives to know what they're voting for? Meghan McCain rejects requests to pose semi-nude on the grounds that it would hurt her father's career. Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), 91 years young, has been released from the hospital but will not be returning to the Senate immediately. As of this posting, 22 news stories aggregated by Google News have ...

The other day, Asylum asked what can we learn from Meghan McCain's .... chest area? Today Meghan McCain responds.

Meghan McCain Accuses Brian Williams of 'Bowing' to President Obama
By David Knowles - Politics DailyMeghan McCain is not happy with NBC's Brian Williams. Why? According to McCain, the television anchor is so enamored with President Barack Obama that he committed the unforgivable sin of "bowing" before the man during his exclusive White House fluff piece that aired this week. Here's video of the offensive gesture in question. And here's McCain, firing off her disapproval via Twitter: McCainBloggette: Brian Williams just bowed to Obama? WTF, I mean seriously press corps we all know how you feel about him but now your [sic.] bowing to the President? McCainBloggette: interpret it as a ...
Meghan McCain Strikes Back at NY Times 'Hit Piece'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyNew York Times blogger Judith Warner dug into Meghan McCain with gusto, posting a concern-trolling piece about Meg's appearance on the Colbert Report. She writes that she "feels sorry" for Meg:I really have no business feeling sympathy for a wealthy, pretty, well-connected recent Columbia grad who's already been given a political blog by Tina Brown, who's already been paid a reported high six figures to write on the future of the Republican party, and who, despite it all, was foolish enough to go on "The Colbert Report" on Monday night and call herself "a 24-year-old pro-sex woman."I suppose ...
No Meghan McCain Ratings Bump For Stephen Colbert, But Huge Online Spike
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAs an avid fan of both Meghan McCain and Stephen Colbert (despite our rocky history), I tuned in to last night's Meg-augmented episode of the Colbert Report with bells on. Meghan looked great, and even managed to throw Stephen Colbert momentarily out of character, a first as far as I know, with her declaration that she is a pro-sex woman. I also have to give Meg props for resisting the enticing temptation to lick Colbert's face.This got me thinking, Colbert is famous for taking credit when politicians receive a bump from going on his show. So I wondered if Colbert would get a similar bump from ...
