Just occurred to me when glancing at the NYT's lead story at the moment (just a throwaway candidates-on-the-trail thing): You know who we haven't seen much of at all during this campaign? Meghan McCain.
I'm sure she's been out there, but you don't see her on stage with her father (and mother), and you don't see random shots or video clips of her out on her own, the way you used to with Chelsea Clinton and that scary-eyes Romney bunch. She's young, but not that young (24, if Wikipedia is to be believed), and reasonably photogenic. I remember she was a bit of a sensation way back when, and fuss was made for about a day over the idea that's she'd be blogging(!), but since then, nothing. I wonder why.
Maybe it's just as well. How many headlines like this do we really need to see?
The same could be asked about McCain's other kids, I suppose, Jack (22), Jimmy (20), and Bridget (17), but it did seem like Meghan was initially being groomed for a role of some sort.
