another reason not to pick McCain

His daughter's blog is entirely about anything but the issues or the candidates.
Check it out:

How American of her.
"Politicians and their families have been SO ISOLATED"....poor things.

I am confused as to why his daughter's blog would be a reason not to vote for him. She pretty clearly states that the purpose of the blog is to talk about the campaign, not politics... so I am just wondering why people should expect her to discuss them? She's not running for president.

Thanks for the link. I can see Neptunia's point about this young lady trying to humanize her dad and his life with this blog, but it left me feeling like I was reading one of those group letters one gets on Xmas -- you know where they say everything is fantastic, we got a bonus, the kids made honor roll 12 times over, we put our 2nd Hummer -- stuff like that. I think inspid is a pretty good word for it.

It wouldn't make me NOT vote for McCain. But then I've got a whole slew of reasons I never would vote for him anyway (including never being around to vote in the Senate or to represent his state).

My biggest frustration with the blog is how artificial it feels. I just hear the ghostwriter whispering the lines as she types them.
