The GOP's identity crisis just got more interesting with the recent media splash of Meghan McCain. Young McCain, who began blogging during her father's presidential campaign, recently made waves at The Daily Beast when she picked a fight with conservative media mavens Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham.
McCain, just 24, is one smart cookie. In a matter of weeks, she has created a brand, presenting herself as a fresh face of her daddy's party and a voice for young conservatives. Strategically speaking, what better way to launch herself than to challenge the reigning diva herself, Miz Coulter?
McCain jammed traffic on Tina Brown's site with her charge that Coulter is bad for the party. In a voice that is sometimes, alas, reminiscent of a co-ed's twitter, she wrote: "I straight up don't understand this woman or her popularity. I find her offensive, radical, insulting and confusing all at the same time."
Claiming that Coulter could be the poster woman for the "most extreme side of the Republican Party," McCain offered herself as the opposite.

But how long before she notices that Meghan is younger and prettier than she is? Suddenly she’ll be labelled a crazy right-winger.
I’m not sure about the prettier part, but they seem to be equal in the IQ department.
Yes, that’s true.
She should have stopped right there.
Meghan McCain needs to shut up and leave us alone. I couldn’t stand seeing Gore’s kids after the election either.
A maverick is a motherless calf, not a full grown cow.
If anyone is qualified to talk about a maverick it is the maverick Parker.
Makes sense Parker would like Baby McCain.
The MSM loves anybody that attacks conservatives. Better yet that it is a so called Republican. They will give them all the adulation they will ever need.
“The GOP’s extreme voices are a turnoff, not just to young people, but to millions of Americans who might otherwise be attracted to conservative principles. Who better to point that out than a young maverick named McCain.”
What “conservative principles” do these RINOs hold???

Big girls need love too!!
Vichy Republican.
None that I’m aware of.
I am really tired of that maverick word.
It was overused in that ABSURD RNC convention video that look slapped together by a high school kid and now this is being used to prop up this daughter to replace her father as sentor. (can they be more transparent?!)
Does anyone care what either Kathleen or Meghan think?
One Vichy Republican, one large-bosomed ditz.
Kathleen, you are dead to me. Go into eternal exile with Noonan, Frum, and the rest of the elite RINO traitors.
BEAUTIFUL!!!
that is a keeper
McCain a Vichey Republican.
I think Sarah was the one who made me ill from the term.
