(CNN)—Meghan McCain gave her father an early Father’s Day gift Friday when she changed her political party affiliation from an Independent to a Republican.
Joined by her mother, Cindy McCain, the younger McCain re-registered at the State Capitol Executive Building in Phoenix, Arizona.
In a statement on the aspiring first daughter’s blog, Meghan McCain explained she made the decision as a symbol of commitment to her father.
Meghan McCain, who was registered as an Independent since she was old enough to vote, said in a statement the choice represents her faith in her father’s “ability to be an effective leader for our country and to grow and strengthen the Republican Party when he is elected President of the United States.
“Happy Father's Day, Dad!” she also said.
News: McCain was for privatized social security before he was against it!
McCain last night: "But I'm not for quote privatizing Social Security, I never have been, I never will be."
McCain in 2004: "Without privatization, I don't see how you can possibly, over time, make sure that young Americans are able to receive Social Security benefits."
While yor're at it get him some warm milk and a pillow to rest his head
An attempt to try to appeal to the younger voters
What a great gift! (sarcasm). At least McCain has registered one new voter for the Republicans.
Her father isn't gonna win anyway.
Just say no to a Bush third term.
It is refreshing to see that one of the canidates has a nice family.
The Clintons and the McCains can be very proud of their children.
Obama's children are not old enough to judge yet, but if they are
anything like their mother, someone will have to make sure they
never speak in public.
Ok now I feel better, this makes me warm and fuzzy all over!
Obama 08/12
"If I can't vote for Hillary then it's McCain, since he know what is best for women."
If that's isn't scary enough then I don't know what is.
By the way, was McCain around long enough to vote for women's right to vote? If so could someone look it up and see how he voted?
I know you guys might think this is a good "personal interest story" but come on CNN. This is NOT newsworthy.
Again with this story?
Who cares. Your father is running as Bush term I will not vote for him. He too old too
Man she is a hottie. To bad she'll continue to just be a senator's daughter after November.
That should make his day...a convert.
Seems like you can only rely on your family and ur dog... no one else will elect you Sir.
Of course she would do this, wouldn't any daughter or son ?. The question is : Who cares ?. And, why is this news ?
She's 23? So how old was papa when she was born; 92?
sorry youung lady i appreciate you voting and all but even you know your dad is the wrong choice for this country!!! wrong choice!!!!
Well, at least he will get one vote!
That's a man, man! Well, she looks rather mannish.
I wonder if he has a cuddly little pet name for her, too?
Is one of the editors in love with her or something? 2 stories in a row on books and gifts? Please....
Obama = 2nd Carter term!!!!!
And this is news how??????????????????????????????
Well, I left the democratic party and became a independent. Obama was the nominee of the pundits, elder DNC, Howard Dean and super delegates. This woman believes in a one person-one vote system, which the Democratic party does not.
There was no need for the vile comments from you Obama supporters. This is a father/daughter story. You Obama supporters are scary. What has happened to the last 3 generations of our children. John McCain is a fine honorable man. Lets leave it at that.
