Meghan Mccain is a blogger

I was watching CNN and on the Larry King Show, Larry King was interviewing Meghan McCain, Senator McCain’s daughter. I had never heard of her before and after watching her interview I was very surprised. In her interview she spoke of President Obama. As a young republican she supports the president and his actions though they might be inline with her views. She stated that any American should support their president regardless of their party affiliate. Through out the interview she kept referring to herself as progressive republican and the next or young generation of republicans. She expressed her opinions of Rush Limbaugh, who hopes the president will fail. While campaigning for her father she started blogging and recently joined Twitter. I was really surprised to hear this. It really hit me that younger people are really taking advantage of the internet and use the internet to express their ideas and opinions. As a political embodiment of the young generation I believe it is good of her to blog. She is only 24 and she can encourage young people to become informed in politics. She had a lot to say about the Republican Party. She claimed that the Republican Party is without a leader at the moment. What caught my attention was her mention of younger republicans. She spoke of the issues her and her father disagree on and mentioned the issues that the older generation of republicans and the young generation of republicans. I appreciate her opinion on politics; it is refreshing to see a young person voice their opinion on politics. Hopefully the young generation will become more engaged with politics.
