John McCain's daughter drinks domestic beer, likes to use the word "hilarious" and talks a lot about guys, especially her temperamental dad, with whom she disagrees often but will defend to the end.

"My dad was tortured in prison; he doesn’t overreact to things. So if he starts freaking out, you know it’s time to freak out," 23-year-old Meghan McCain told GQ for a feature story that has been published online.

McCain claims to be an independent voter. She says she is economically conservative like her dad, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, but socially liberal, unlike the Arizona senator who has a 100 percent anti-abortion record. She backed John Kerry in 2004 but supports her dad completely on the war in Iraq.

The Columbia University graduate is trying to inject the youth element in her father's campaign, running the McCainBlogette.com page on her dad's campaign Web site. The site, which bills itself as "musings and pop culture on the political trail," is apparently an homage to that late "gonzo" journalist Hunter S. Thompson, but it deals very sparsely with political issues that would have fascinated the author of the "Fear and Loathing" series.

While she mainly populates the page with pictures and music playlists, McCain spares no personal thoughts in her GQ profile about other players on the White House trail. She describes Barack Obama as "sexy," and she deconstructs McCain's former GOP rivals Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. Romney, she says, "didn't keep it real," while Huckabee "wants to be the head of the evangelical movement."
