Daughter of Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain and newly minted MSNBC contributor (or was it correspondent?), Meghan McCain, re-launched her political blog on Tuesday with a call to “blogettes” to get involved.
“Anyone that is interested and active in this election cycle and would like a platform to voice your opinions and perspective on 2012, please apply!” she said in a statement. “I am looking for the fun and fearless political junkies out there that can bring a fresh look.” (RELATED: Meghan McCain: Bachmann is ‘just more smarter’ than Palin)
Mccainblogette.com will be focused on women, politics and “Meghan’s essentials for life.”
On the re-launch of her site, McCain explained that her first stab at political blogging, during her father’s presidential election, was what really got her interested in politics. This site will continue on with that “love affair.”
“Welcome to the new McCainBlogette.com. For those of you that followed this site that started my love affair with the political process during the 2008 election, welcome back. For those of you that are visiting for the first time, thank you for checking out my newly revamped site.”
According to the official announcement from her media partner, EQAL, readers will get a chance to learn about the magic that “makes Meghan tick” and even get her famous family involved, with mother Cindy McCain guest blogging about the family’s holiday traditions this Thursday.
Her partner in political-blogging-empire-building, EQAL, added that her site will be a comfortable forum for women to discuss politics and their ideas.
“We wanted to help Meghan McCain re-launch McCain Blogette to offer her a way to build a robust community around ideas and to empower women to speak out about their views,” said Miles Beckett, co-founder and CEO of EQAL. “With the election ramping up, re-launching Meghan’s community is a great way to bring the election conversation online in a new way.”
