Candidates' Kids Can Blog Better Than This

By now, you may have heard some of the buzz surrounding McCain Blogette, the new blog put out by John McCain's daughter, Meghan, and her friends (including "political fashionista" La-Toria Haven, thank goodness). The second family campaign blog this cycle, McCain Blogette is more of a shameless self-promotional vehicle than, say, a shameless pander for family-values votes like the Romneys' Five Brothers. But this new genre has real potential. Here are some other efforts we'd like to see:

• Chelsea Clinton—McKinsey Confidential: Chronicling an ambitious young woman’s quest to make it in the all-boys club consulting world
• Grace and Christina Dodd, Malia and Sasha Obama, Emma Claire and Jack Edwards, Jenna Brownback—The Playpen: Influential group blog for intelligentsia of the under-10 set
• Randy Tancredo—Minuteman: Liveblogging the immigration fight, straight from the borderlands
• Caroline Giuliani—My Obama Girl: Caroline signs on as occasional guest blogger at fan site
• David Huckabee—Huck’s Heart: Online community service clearinghouse, part of court-ordered restitution for animal cruelty incident, weapons charges

Readers, let's see what you can come up with! There's a Beau Biden gag just begging to be made here.
