MCCAIN: I consider myself a progressive Republican. I am liberal on social issues. And I think that the party is at a place where social issues shouldn't be the issues that define the party. And I have taken heat, but in fairness to me, I am a different generation than the people that are giving me heat. I'm 24 years old. I'm not in my 40s, I'm not in my 50s and older. And I think there's just such a generation gap, that the people that don't understand me, I actually take it as a compliment, that sort of this new young Republican can come forward and make progress and be successful in the ways that this party has currently failed.

RABS -- I think you should write this supercoolish genY progressive valleytwit a letter. Like, Meghan honey, it's not a generation thing!

I have yet to see this airhead outline exactly what policies she professes other than being pro-gay marriage and the ever-tiresome social liberal. Oh yeah... and she says she is clueless on the economy. Her opinion on foreign policy is probably "Like, you know, everyone should be able to fly to Kakakhstan on mommy's private jet... It's just, like kewl!"
