“Back in my past life,” admits a refreshingly unpretentious Meghan McCain, 23, in a recent posting on her blog of music and pop cultural observations from the campaign trail, “I wanted to be a music journalist.”

But Meghan McCain, the oldest child of Cindy McCain and Arizona Senator and GOP presidential hopeful John McCain, has not completely abandoned the music journalism aspirations she harbors.

As a driving force behind McCainBlogette.com, the potential future First Daughter and some friends share their opinions on pop culture, and music playlists “of the songs we just can’t get enough of.”

They also provide great insight and behind-the-scenes looks at the 2008 race from the John McCain camp. It’s fun, not self-important or preachy. We recommend checking out this cool McCain Blogette and her site.

Cindy and Meghan McCain are John’s biggest assets - and fans!

John and Cindy McCain also have two sons - Jack (who recently blogged on Meghan’s site) and James - and an adopted teenage daughter, Bridget.
