Meghan McCain Dishes Way Too Much Info on Her Love Life

Follow us on Twitter

Monday, in a blog post at The Daily Beast, John McCain's daughter Meghan McCain gave me way TMI on her love life, and how her father's Presidential campaign killed it.

Meghan McCain is the 24-year-old daughter of John and Cindy McCain. She said that she managed to keep politics out of her love life, but she said that post-election, that's a thing of the past.

Here's some of what Meghan McCain wrote:

I am not only turned off by people who voted for Barack Obama, but I am also turned off by people that voted for my dad—or more so, obsessive supporters of my dad. Recently, over dinner, a guy started explaining his reasons for supporting President Obama during the election (I didn’t ask, I think the poor guy felt guilty) and I immediately found any attraction I had previously had dissipate. But same thing happens if a guy starts talking about all the reasons why my father should be president. I have the ultimate Catch-22 in post-election dating. So where does that leave me, and who exactly am I attracted to? Let’s just say I’m spending a lot of time writing and even more time with my girlfriends.

Like many people, when I meet a new friend in real life, we also become Facebook friends. And when I friend someone on Facebook (especially someone who is interested in going out on a date), I read their profile to learn more about them. This seems to be where my problems start. Most people list the candidate they supported during the election. Some have joined the group “A Million Strong for Obama.” Some are even part of the group “I have more foreign-policy experience than Sarah Palin.” When I see this type of information I immediately start thinking: How liberal is this person? Do they know I am Republican spawn, against everything that this person believed in during the last election? How important is politics to this person? When I find my father’s face staring back at me on a potential date's Facebook page I am equally put off. I don’t want to see my father’s picture near any picture of a guy I am attracted to, especially if we haven’t even had dinner yet.

Meghan McCain added that she didn't date during the campaign because she was too busy. but now that the campaign is over, she still isn't dating much, because of the above. Her thought:

So to all the fathers out there: If you want your daughters to be single in her 20s, I can say this—run for president.

As a new father, I'm mulling this over ...
