"McCain Blogette" seems an oxymoron: a senior citizen and his presidential campaign chronicled by the Facebook generation.

This is the goal of John McCain's daughter Meghan and her Internet diary, www.mccainblogette.com. Meghan, 23, offers an insider's view, offbeat and sometimes surprisingly intimate.

Meghan decided to blog about the campaign, with help from a couple of friends, after graduating last year from Columbia University.

There is a message for anyone worried her 71-year-old father is too old: "I have yet to see Dad take a nap on the trail," Meghan writes under a picture of herself napping.

A different photo shows Meghan demanding, arm outstretched, that her father hand over the candy bar he wants to eat for dinner.

The site shows her father through a younger lens, making him seem, if not more hip, then definitely less crotchety, said Germany, whose husband works for McCain's campaign.

Occasionally, there's something revealing.
