The key to dating is to know what you want before you start dating. Once you know what you want and what you are looking for, then you can communicate those expectations to your potential partner.

Frankly, not all dating has to be fore the purpose of matrimony. There are lots of people that do not wish to be married for the near term but don't want to cut themselves off from the opposte sex.

If you find that when your dates talk politics and it turns you off, then make sure you clarify that in the first contact. It's understandable for a kennedy or McCain not to talk politics because they live it daily. I hate talking about engineering during my free time. I like to talk about non-sense mostly. It takes my mind off the technical challenges of my job. Dating is like recess, it should be an enjoyable break in the regular day. Have fun and make it clear politics is off limits for the first 20 dates. Anyone dating a McCain already knows your politics. If they don't like your dad's positions, why bother asking you out.

Maybe the little "three year old baby girl bows in your hair" killed your love life Ninny ! You're dumber than your dad. Good thing your Mommy has enough money from her Mommy and Daddy to provide for you idiots.

I am sure she will find a good guy. Someone who doesn't care about politics. Hey if i was single, I would try to ask her out and never mentioin a thing about politics unless she truly wants to know. She is very attractive.

Ok, if I clearly understand this, is she gay without knowing it?Because as far as I know, only women don't seat down and strictly talk polictics. So...if she want to find a female partner that would work, I think.

Interesting what does Sidney think?

Oh I forgot.... the abandoned children of Republicans don't matter.

Oh, for God's sake – WHY IS THIS NEWS???????

The economy is in the crapper, our troops are still at risk, Rush is running the GOP, and THIS IS NEWS?????

Have you lost all semblance of credibility?

Is this all CNN NEWS have to report on is someone LOVE LIFE!!!!!!!!!! Who cares if her boyfiend have gotten enough of daddy money and now he want to be with her best friend. Get over it baby

What a ding dong. Does this girl really have to put herself out there as part of the Republican Party? It's turning me off.

get over yourself

Who cares?

I'm sure his losing sorry campaign killed his love life also.

...who cares? Why is this news?

Did the campaign kill her love life or the way she looked while on the campaign?

Who cares? This isn't news, this belongs in a gossip magazine. Shame on your CNN for reporting on crap like this.

"So where does that leave me, and who exactly am I attracted to? Let’s just say I’m spending a lot of time writing and even more time with my girlfriends."

I wonder if that includes Dick Cheney's daughter...

Although she isn't interested in politics, I think she has a real career in writing or starring in movies, comedies, or a daytime talk shows.

"There are things that have been difficult, but nothing quite as tough as dating. I fear the election has destroyed my ability and desire to date. Now, I cannot say at any point in my life that I have been very good at dating. But I have become something I used to despise: people who let politics dictate his or her attraction to someone."

I'm gonna tell you right now, don't let politics ruin your lifestyle. But I gotta say, when her father became the nominee, that was a just a big step forward. And if you do, your life is just gonna be complicated. Politics is a very personal matter, let the Big Boys take care of it...

I meet woman of all angles, and some of them may believe in abortion or not, some may believe in birth control, etc. Is different from one another, and I'm gonna tell you now, if the guy is like that, he ain't worth your time. Trust me, I'm everywhere, a player knows how to play this game...

Why do we care CNN? Why do you think anyone cares Meghan?

Dad loses the election, and now this! Poor guy.

Meghan should consider talking to Mary Matalin. If any one can teach her how to leave politics out of the home, or the date, it's Matalin and Carville.

She is pretty and smart. If I were still single I would welcome a relationship with her. Also, I don't think many men have a good idea of how wealthy her mother is. There's a lot to like about Meghan...

Poor Kid learned an important lesson early in life. If there is a bright side to all this it's that she has almost four years to find someone who knows more about living than worrying about politics.

If she thinks she has it bad try asking a girl out on a date when your father is the only funeral director in town.....I had to leave town and lie about what dear Dad did just to get to know a girl. I am now married and work in a residential design firm.... and avoid discussions on funeral arrangements at the water cooler! LOL... She'll learn to avoid talk of politics, trust me!

Meghan McCain – a woman desperately in need of a life.

"She said she was "turned off" both by supporters of President Obama — and her father's backers."

Well, Honey, here is a news bulletin for you... You are not the greatest "turn on" in the world either. Have you ever considered that it might not have been the election, but perhaps YOU?

Gee whiz, all you have to do is ask daddy for some of his Viagra, it works for girls too, you just can't take the whole pill.

Frankly, who cares???

WHO the hell cares about Meghan's love life? I mean really, this is soooooooooooo stupid on all levels. WHY is this even newsworthy is beyond me.

It's these types of senseless journalism that SUCK!!!!

WHO CARES, ask your mother for some pointers she good at attracting men especially someone elses.

Wow, get over yourself, Meghan."I am sure I am not being fair to all the men out there..." Meghan, I promise, not all the men out there want to date you. Personally, I don't think you are attractive in the least.

What a waste of space. Get a REAL life sister

Megan is following in the footsteps of Ron Reagan, Stephanie Miller, Julie Nixon Eisenhower and a few more! She will sooooon be a progressive dem...........!! I can see it happening now! AND she graduated from Columbia University(President Obama's university)!

eewww!!!!!

and this is news? why? and who cares?

Cry me a river...this is a case of "too much information" in my opinion.

not sure her dad is sorry about that. Wonder if that worked for teenagers of Vice Presidential candidate.

I'm guessing her favorite topic of discussion is herself, no politics, art, music or theatre just herself and maybe shopping!!! Just an Arizona Valley Girl....

Why is this news

thats a drag. do you always meet guys who are patriots to a particular political party, and who are "die hard" enough to insure their place in a politicians family? you know; those type of guys who will try to sleep their way to the top!

I feel bad for Megan McCain, she's pretty cute

Meghan seems like a level headed young lady.....good for her!

Does anyone really care what this ditz has to say? What makes her think anyone cares about her dating life? Could she be trolling for dates on the "Ticker.?" She graduated from Columbia 2 yrs ago?...what, no job yet? Daddy must still be supporting her.

The Stock Market is in a downhill spiral and all CNN can do is write articles about McCain and Limbaugh. Why don't they do some real reporting and tell us why the markets DON'T like the Obama stimulus package, bail-out plan and budget??? I can give you a hint; they are all going to RUIN this country.....

Any one ever notice how Republicans often use stories to make a point? The stories are usually fictitious and when they aren't, they're riddled with distortions or flat out lies. Mr. Jingle (I meant Jindel) is a prime example. Yet, this is how they best explain their views. Interesting isn't it???

Hmm. Okay. Meghan McCain strikes me as overly self-absorbed, but then again she is young. The "Political Ticker" strikes me as overly freighted with frivolous ballyhoo, but then again it is an operation run by an American cable news network.

I am sorry that Ms. MCcain's fathers campaign ruined her love life, but her fathers campaign has also caused me to re-think my afiliation with the Republican party as well, and I am far from being alone!

Cute! She has a sense of humor. Good for her. She seems balanced.

This is a refreshingly candid view of politics from within a family. The sacrifices politicians and their families make is not really understood by people who don't run for office. Good on you, Meghan. Your honesty is quite attractive (as are you) and you will have no trouble finding a cool partner.

what a charming young and astute woman

Sorry Maghan, I think it was your wide sholders, or perhaps your double chin. Your belly might have had something to do with it also.

Meghan,

Just linger around the CPAC next year (too late this year). I'm sure some rabid conservative would find you much to their liking.

Why would she find this so surprising? Ones political affiliation says a lot about ones view on life and values. It's understandible that a person would want to date someone that shared their beliefs. I for one would never date a republican.

Who cares?

Maybe the fact that her father lost all respect from the public during the election and also chose Palin, the guy's definitely not all there. I would be uncomfortable meeting a girl's dad who was a wacko.

Is it a crime to be single in your 20s?

This was one of the most boring and pointless Ticker stories yet. Who gives a flying bleep about her sex life?

Poor Meghan...while millions of Americans are losing their jobs and homes because of policies her father helped enact over the last eight years, her love life has gone stale.

What. A. Shame.

I don't get why this is news worthy......when we are in a deep recession....people's homes are being foreclosed on....America is going in the toilet but we need to know the Megan McCain isn't getting any!
Please lets get back to the real news.

Just a reminder: the sole purpose of life is not "dating"

Maybe it's your big American Beer Belly.....

She's cute.

Dick Cheney's daughter spends a lot of time with her girlfriends also.

So she said "I spend more time with my girlfriends" sound like dear OLD dad may want to give ole Dick a call.

Meagan,

No disrespect. But your pop's politics are just wrong. Change them and you'll find plenty of dates. America has changed and people don't want to date someone seem as stale. You're a pretty girl, just run far away from your dad's politics as fast as you can.

Good luck.

This is NEWS? or Politics? Who cares?

I see... it's the replacement for abstinence, right? A new GOP talking point?

So let me get this straight. People are losing their homes and jobs, going hungry and we have two wars going on and she wants us to be concerned about her love life? Well, sweetie go find yourself some pills to live on just like your mother did and leave us alone. You won't get any sympathy here as the rest of us are too worried about how we are going to make it from paycheck to paycheck and if we will have a job to go to tomorrow (that is those of us who STILL have jobs). Disgusting. The whole McCain family. Disgusting. Please go find yourself a bridge to jump off and leave your inheritance to some unfortunate family.

And why would anybody care if and you are dating. It must be a very slow newsday for CNN to put this on their website.

Poor Meghan, maybe Ann Coulter could give her a few pointers. Lord knows Ann could kill a love-life. lol lol lol

Bet Mommie's Millions bring them out of the woodwork in the droves. Any more men out there that want women to take care of them? Like "Daddy"?

Think she needs a little cheese to go with that whine?

I guess the repubs are turning off everyone! I just switched my party affiliation to the GOP...hey, someone needs to turn off the lights.

Meghan...just set the boundaries...tell them..no political talk. It can't be that hard....could it?

typical CNN...... this is ridiculous

anyone happen to see where the DOW ended today? Thanks Obama, you truly are the greatest president of all time (rolling of the eyes)

There is a 11yr old boy who writes about children in the White House. He plans to run for president when he is 37. Don't ask me why. She should write a book about her experience. It will help her decompress for one thing and look at life from a different perspective as a single woman who wishes to accomplish all the good things of life. I think dating or socializing is a good thing. She can learn to find out if her date is a whimp. Why stoop low? Your father gracefully conceded. Turn dating into a fun adventure. Just drop them in the garbage girl.

I understand Rush is available. Just think you would never get a word in edge-wise.

Don't worry you're nice looking young woman and the memory of the election will fade. Good luck although I didn't vote for your father but you was one of the positive during the campaign.

Who cares!

so very sad....People in the limelife are fearful of living their lives because some idiot with a cell phone camera will make a picture that gets all blown out of porportion.....She needs to live her life and do not worry about what other people think...tell them to jump off into a lake

so very sad....People in the limelife are fearful of living their lives because some idiot with a cell phone camera will make a picture that gets all blown out of porportion.....She needs to live her life and do not worry about what other people think...screw them

so many of us are having troble holding on to our homes and our very lively hood thanks to the last administration, and you are worried about who you go out with, GROW UP.

Don't worry Meghan..when the right fellw comes along, you won't give a care in the world for his politics!

Signed,
Happily Married for almost 30 years

I guess my response is....who cares? What about John's love life? Now that would be interesting...OK, maybe not.

She's a beautiful and intelligent woman, I'm sure she'll find a good guy.

CNN, why are you talking about Meghan McCain's love life or lack thereof?! C'mon, get some real news......

Put dating on hold; find out who and what you are; then, and only then re-enter the dating game... what is the rush?

Hey little Cindy (err...maybe not so little)...I voted for Nader....let's grab a burger! lol

WOW, goes to show the intelligence of this woman, with all the problems going on in the world, her first thought is sex and her libido.

I can honestly say that if I were on a date with a beautiful, intelligent woman like Meghan, the last thing I would bring up would be her Dad even if he is John McCain.

Maybe they're just not that into you, Meghan.

Good lord – quit reporting on the whinings of a wealthy child. I voted for John McCain but find his daughters complaints to be petty and insignificant.

Why CNN would report on these things?? To stir the pot.....

Uh...who really cares?

too much information, meghan.

There is a 11yr old boy who writes about children of the White house. He plans to run for president when he is 37. Don't ask me why. She should write a book about her experience. It will help her decompress for one thing and look at like from a different perspective as a single woman who wishes to accomplish all the good things of life.

Come on, CNN...this is not worthy of being called 'news.'

I find Meghan McCain super sexy, despite my politics. If I got to date her, I would just keep my mouth shut.

She has a sense of humor. I find that really sexy.

Meghan needs to ask Rush Limbaugh what to do, afterall, he's "God" in the Republican Party.

THE MCSAME LABIDO IS WHAT THE WHOLE NATION

IS WORRIED ABOUT. THE GIRL IS AN EVEN BIGGER

IDIOT THAN HER PARENTS & THAT IS SAYING A LOT.

Young men turn her off --- but not the young women? Hmmmm

My biggest aphrodisiac is Meghan McCain. She can date me anytime.

another delusional republican . funny theres two sides to every story!
maybe there party leader russ limbaugh could help her out.
this is funny.

Seriously, I really don't think I can come up with an idea for a story that would have less substance than this load of rotting tripe.

"She said one fan of her mother, Cindy McCain, recently told her she could be "his Cindy," and asked if she ever wore pearls like her mother did. "Any guy that has a fetish for older women in pantsuits and large pearls obviously only finds my last name attractive about me," she wrote.

I think we can all bipartisanly agree that this is one heckuva disturbing fetish that "fan" has.

Here's hope to Meghan that she can find love and happiness, which we all sorely need right now.

What a sad NON STORY. Who cares, talk to her daddy. This is the definition of TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!

Is this CNN's attempt to give the other side a "press time"???

HOW IS MISS MCCAIN's LOVE LIFE POLITICAL NEWS?

Don't give up Meghan! You are a beautiful, sweet, intelligent person (and that's coming from an Obama fan!) and will meet Mr. "Right" one day...keep up the blogging, people love to hear what you have to say because you keep it real.

Uhh....Sorry. I think accidently stumbled onto the E! site. Surely CNN wouldn't have such a fluff story on their political ticker.

boy oh boy.. does she have issues!!!

GIRL HAS HER PARENT'S PRIORITIES, MORALS & TASTE.

Meghan McCain is not the most attractive person that may be why her love life have stalled. As a matter of fact, she is right down funny looking!

Ms. Meghan needs to realize the truth: her lack of dates has nothing to do with her father's run for the White House, and much more to do with the fact of who her father is in the first place. Nothing personal to her, but with that parental baggage, I wouldn't date her, either.

Is this all "Precious" has to dwell on? Meghan needs to get a real life!

Hey Meghan: Let's make out and start a 3rd party, baby!

I truly believe that Meghan McCain is a closet Democrat!

Hey Sugar, I didn't vote in the last four elections! Call Me! (555-STUD)!

Maybe her love life is struggling because she missed the joke about the Pearl Necklace? Really? You really think he was attracted to Cindy? Pearls? How old is this McCain again? She should have picked up on that. That was a sexual reference Jr. No wonder you are missing all the signs.

Boo Hoo!! This poor girl is between a rock and a hard place. She needs to hop out of fantasy land and grow up!

WHO CARES?

Meghan, a quick word, Seattle Sutton Diet!

too bad for her and her love life

but

she did get to go through a campaign which I can only guess must have been thrilling

anyway, seems like a cool, well grounded human being

Who CARES?

CNN This is not news!

WHY THE HELL IS THIS ON THE TICKER!!! COME ON CNN!!!!

wow thanks CNN this is really somethin Americans wanted to hear...why not have it in Bold and breaking news at the top of the homepage
