Washington: “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.

While the website is about a campaign, it is not about issues and rarely mentions other candidates. Rather, it is intended to make her parents, and politics, seem more real.

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.

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

Her website mixes behind the scenes photos and videos from the campaign trail with iPod music playlists, designer fashion, even makeup tips.
