(CNN) – Meghan McCain may be topping off her recent publicity blitz with a big payday: the daughter of former Republican presidential candidate John McCain has scored a six-figure book deal, according to the New York Observer.
Hyperion, which reportedly inked the deal with McCain, has not responded to a CNN request for comment or details on what would be the 24-year-old's second book. (Her first, released last fall, was a Simon & Schuster children's book about her father's life.)
McCain's attention-grabbing blog posts and television appearances over the past few months have kept her in the post-campaign spotlight, and made her one of the year's hottest young Republican pundits.
She's blamed her languishing love life on her father's presidential run; feuded with conservative commentators Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham; and raved about the GOP's congressional "hottie," 27-year-old Aaron Schock of Illinois.
Most of her recent blog posts have focused on her feelings on the future direction of the Republican Party. "As someone who has been personally attacked when I invited political discourse, I firmly believe that talking about our differences – instead of mudslinging – can only bring people closer to the Republican Party and force them to take a second look at their candidates," she wrote for the Daily Beast last month.
There is no word yet on a possible release date.

@ g.smith "This is what capitalism is all about, something that the Democrats and Barrack Obama does not know about."
Really? Obama was pretty quick to sell the rights to his "public" pre-inaug. concert on "federal" property to cable channels for millions. And don't get me started on the smooth marketing of his Obama branding. I think he knows about it.
So this is the reason this blond bimbo all of a sudden appears and puts her father down and "supports" Obama. She just wants to make some bucks.
to Typical Republican, I guess the Democrats are not greedy, right?
mjr2k, I do not plan on buying her book. That said, ain't nothing wrong with a curvaceous young lady. I am guessing that you go for the scrawny, black wearing, mousy haired, too much espresso drinkin' "liberal intellectual" chicks. To each his own. Have a nice day.
LOL – if anything Meghan knows how to "work" democrats to buy her book:
Step 1 – get into a cat-fight with Ann Coulter
Step 2 – cause a stir by not vocally supporting Sarah Palin
Step 3 – announce your new book deal
Step 4 – rake in $$ from looney libs salivating for any dirt on GOP
So, at least you all have to admit, capitalism is not dead, nor is freedom of speech, although republicans would like it to be in this case; and we are not a totalitarian state, which we were headed to under Bush. Too bad, she seems like a promising young woman, who could develope into a strong young republican, that moderate centrist people could support; but the rabid right extremists and religious fanatics will probalbly crush her. She's brave to even put herself out there.
Will it have lots of pictures????? ((O_O))
The comments here prove that Liberals are intimidated by smart, educated, out-spoken, intelligent women.
just as full of lies as the Rush and Rove and Rumsfeld think tank that drove this country into the ground
you funny lazy politicians should spend more time protecting your cargo ships from worthless pirates, than writing books. duh, anywone can write a book, but hard work takes common sense. so perhaps that is the real political issue
Meghan McCain is a kid who does not know to keep quiet about her libido in public!!! This is beyond ridiculous!! What could she say worth that much money??? An indicator of how low our country has sunk for this to happen. Folk everywhere needing jobs and this company offers an immature kid six figures for her ramblings!!!
I am so sick with name calling in this country. Other parts of the world seem to enjoy having our President, I don't understand why Americans are not allowed to enjoy and be hopeful by the media......
Too much negativity in America. Looks like we can only live in republican country if not then we all live like depressed people!
If the GOP wants to survive, they must transition away from the old school and refocus on Meghan McCain types. If they keep pinning their hopes on out-of-touch people like Newt or Palin or Steele, then it's over.
She really needs a better stock photo.
"I firmly believe that talking about our differences – instead of mudslinging – can only bring people closer to the Republican Party and force them to take a second look at their candidates,"
For once, a Republican with common sense. If more of them were like her, I might actually vote for one of them someday!
The Republicans need more people like her representing the party to help themselves get away from their well-percieved image as the party of "no", "exclusion", "no ideas" , "hate" and "fear mongering".
They still have a long way to go though...
"The comments here prove that Liberals are intimidated by smart, educated, out-spoken, intelligent women."
Are you high? The people criticizing Meghan McCain are *not* Liberals.

Uh..hate to break it to you, but the negative comments on this thread are NOT from liberals.
The comments here prove that Republican are intimidated by any one that says anything that does not conform to their narrow minded talking points.
The libs love her because she bashes Republicans and conservatives.
I am pretty sure she is a lib as well.... she has that pop-culture persona, her influences probably don't go much deeper than Oprah or Paris Hilton.
Interesting how she draws vitriol from the nuts on both sides of the aisle. She needs to help make a third party.
Robin....The comments here prove that Liberals are intimidated by smart, educated, out-spoken, intelligent women.

Are you serious?
As the Republican party continues its slide into self-parody and eventual oblivion, it's important that a new generation of conservatives emerge to replace the dying GOP. Whatever new conservative movement emerges from the Republican party, it will have to eschew the garbage that the GOP has accrued of the years (Christian fanatics, greedy mega-capitalists, gun nuts, etc) in order to provide an effective counterbalance to the Democratic party. Meghan can be an integral part of this metamorphosis, so I welcome her ideas and I intend to read her book.
Only for the rich!
Good for her!
She already appears to a quantum leap ahead of Sarah Palin as far as intelligence and honesty are concerned.
Okay, she is really trying to string her 15 minutes out. She is nothing new and exciting. She's a moderate....big deal. There are a bunch of them that are more interesting and qualified to listen to.
