McCain launched McCain Blogette in 2007, documenting her father’s presidential campaign and musing on fashion, music, and pop culture. McCain announced on her blog on June 12, 2008, that she had changed her party registration to Republican. McCain discusses how she nearly overdosed on Xanax on the day of the election in her book Dirty Sexy Politics.

McCain first contributed to The Daily Beast in January 2009. She published an article titled “My beef with Ann Coulter” in March 2009. She questioned Republican support for conservative author and columnist Ann Coulter in this article. Laura Ingraham, a conservative radio talk show host, compared McCain to a “valley girl” in response to McCain’s article. McCain responded to Ingraham in a second article titled “Laura Ingraham, Stop Talking About My Weight.”

She signed a six-figure book deal with Hyperion in April 2009 for her work on Supriya Jindal and Ann Coulter. McCain claimed that “a war is brewing in the Republican Party” between the past and the future, and that “most of the old school Republicans are scared shitless” of it. She also stated that Karl Rove’s Twitter following of her can be “creepy,” and that she needs to “reclaim Twitter from the creepy people.”

McCain’s autobiography, Dirty Sexy Politics, was released in September 2010. In it, she expresses her thoughts on Sarah Palin and describes her interactions with McCain campaign staff. McCain canceled an appearance at Juniata College during the book’s promotional tour due to “unforeseen professional circumstances.”

McCain’s road trip with comedian Michael Ian Black resulted in their collaboration on her 2012 book, America, You Sexy Bitch: A Love Letter to Freedom. In it, she criticizes Republican strategist Karl Rove for what she believes was his role in the attacks on her younger sister during her father’s 2000 presidential campaign, while praising Bill Clinton for his actions during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Raising McCain, her road-trip talk show, premiered in September 2013 on the new Pivot cable and satellite television channel; it was canceled in January 2014. She was later added as a co-host to the show TakePart Live on the same channel, beginning in May 2014, alongside Jacob Soboroff.
