McCain's daughter dishes on frothier side

Books_mccain_s_daughter_ny4
ST. PETERSBURG — You won't see her on stage, but Meghan McCain is always there. On the bus, on the plane, at the rallies.

She criss-crosses the country with her father, Sen. John McCain, taking note of Arnold Schwarzenegger's tie, Charlie Crist's complexion and supporters seeking handshakes — all for her blog, McCainBlogette.com.

But anyone looking to learn where Sen. McCain stands on the issues won't find it here. There's no discussion of policy. And no links between her site and the one for his presidential campaign. "I wanted it to be personal," Meghan, 23, said during an interview with the St. Petersburg Times last week while her father held a fundraiser in St. Petersburg. (story here. AP photo)
