Meghan McCain's dating woes revealed

Posted By on Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 12:00 PM

Obama supporters turn her off, extreme McCain supporters turn her off. Do you think we should set up a phone bank and start calling Ron Paul, Cynthia McKinney or Ralph Nader supporters for volunteers? (I bet North Carolina's own John Edwards would be willing to offer an assist.)

Somewhere in between college and the election, I started allowing politics to dictate the kind of men I date. And the worst part is, it’s not just Obama supporters who turn me off—it’s often my father’s.

The election killed my personal life.

OK, maybe killed is a bit of an exaggeration. But it does seem to be on life support. Of all the things people warned would happen post-election, no one ever said anything about how complicated dating would become. Especially if your dad loses the election. There are things that have been difficult, but nothing quite as tough as dating. I fear the election has destroyed my ability and desire to date. Now, I cannot say at any point in my life that I have been very good at dating. But I have become something I used to despise: people who let politics dictate his or her attraction to someone.
