Publisher Description
Meghan McCain came to prominence as the straight-talking, progressive daughter of the 2008 Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain. And her profile has only risen since the election ended in favor of the other guy.
What makes Meghan so appealing As a new role model for young, creative, and vocal members of the GOP, she’s unafraid to mix it up and speak her mind. In Dirty Sexy Politics she takes a hard look at the future of her party. She doesn’t shy away from serious issues and her raucous humor and down-to-earth style keep her positions accessible.
In this witty, candid, and boisterous book, Meghan takes us deep behind the scenes of the campaign trail. She steals campaign signs in New Hampshire, tastes the nightlife in Nashville, and has a strange encounter with Laura and Jenna Bush at the White House. Along the way, she falls in love with America—while seeing how far the Republican Party has veered from its core values of freedom, honesty, and individuality. In Dirty Sexy Politics, Meghan McCain gives us a true insider's account of life on a campaign trail.

"Refreshing and honest. Meghan McCain is truly authentic. We may not agree on all of our politics but she gave a fascinating look inside a political campaign. She is funny and down to earth. I would recommend this book."

Dirty Sexy Politics Listener Reviews

" The promoter of this book deserves kudos for selecting the very few passages that actually made it sound interesting. I strongly advise against purchasing it or reading it. In fact, it makes me angry that someone could get paid for drivel like this. If you're interested in hearing ad nauseum about cuss words, clothes, and entirely surface-level observations about the 2008 campaign, I'd still bet there's a better book out there. "

" I enjoyed this book as she seemed pretty candid (though one never knows how much one can ever really spill as a daughter of-). She was self-deprecating enough to make her seem relatable to me, which I appreciated. She gave me a glimpse of a John McCain that I hadn't known before (albeit keeping in-line, I'm sure, with what was OK versus not OK to share), and she doled out some pretty satisfying first-hand Sarah Palin zingers, while she was at it. Always a plus. "

" 4stars because it was inciteful and better than i expected, raw, funny, she will get better with time!! "
— Rick, 11/11/2013 -
" Not what I expected, but, I agreed with a lot of Meghan's complaints regarding the Republican party. We need to shake things up, girl! "
— Virginia, 11/3/2013 -
" Love her and this book. She is an intelligent woman and would like to see her become a bigger voice in politics. "

" I picked this up after seeing Meghan McCain on The Daily Show. I really wanted to love this book. Unfortunately it was just okay. "
— Nicole, 7/9/2013 -
" I really enjoyed reading her interpretation of her father's 2008 presidential campaign. "
— Kelli, 7/7/2013 -
" Too much softy Republicanism, not enough on campaign sex. Apparently, a presidential campaign is great for hooking up. Not so great to be the GOP nom and "take the high road" which gets you 46%. "

" Another fluffy read. Finished in a couple hours. Absolutely nothing earth-shattering in here, but decent brain candy. 2.5 stars is probably more accurate. "
— Amanda, 6/16/2013 -
" I really liked this book because Meghan and I share a very similar view of politics and values. "
— Stefanie, 2/28/2013 -
" Didn't make it beyond the first couple of chapters...just not my thing I guess. Besides, the last book I read wasn't very interesting either so obviously I'm needing to return to fiction and find something better. "
— Robin, 12/14/2012 -
" If there were more moderate republicans like Meghan then I might consider switching my party affiliation! Easy book to read. Felt sorry for her for the treatment that she received during the campaign. "
— Sandy, 7/23/2012 -
" This book was an easy read. However, it was very shallow. Meghan McCain just leads the reader to believe she is immature and selfish. "
— Ken, 5/4/2012 -
" I am actually a critic of McCain but I did greatly enjoy this book. Even though be do not belong to the same political party it was nice to hear the account of a young person in politics. "
— Destiny, 10/19/2011 -
" I don't know what I was expecting, but I didn't think this was the raw, real account of life on the campaign trail that it was touted to be. "

" self obsessed 23 year old daughter of John McCain gives a glimpse of life on the campaign trail. Describes the aftermath like the Stockholm syndrome. Entertaining and informative. "
