By now, you may have heard some of the buzz surrounding McCain Blogette, the new blog put out by John McCain’s daughter, Meghan, and her friends (including “political fashionista” La-Toria Haven, thank goodness). The second family campaign blog this cycle, McCain Blogette is more of a shameless self-promotional vehicle than, say, a shameless pander for family-values votes like the Romneys’ Five Brothers. But this new genre has real potential. Here are some other efforts we’d like to see:
- Chelsea Clinton—McKinsey Confidential: Chronicling an ambitious young woman’s quest to make it in the all-boys club consulting world
- Grace and Christina Dodd, Malia and Sasha Obama, Emma Claire and Jack Edwards, Jenna Brownback—The Playpen: Influential group blog for intelligentsia of the under-10 set
- Randy Tancredo—Minuteman: Liveblogging the immigration fight, straight from the borderlands
- Caroline Giuliani—My Obama Girl: Caroline signs on as occasional guest blogger at fan site
- David Huckabee—Huck’s Heart: Online community service clearinghouse, part of court-ordered restitution for animal cruelty incident, weapons charges
Readers, let’s see what you can come up with! There’s a Beau Biden gag just begging to be made here.
