In her Daily Beast blog Meghan McCain reveals "the Republican Party's own pop-culture politician," 27 year old Congressman Aaron Schock, IL-18 (his district includes the area once represented by Abraham Lincoln). Says Meghan
It’s no coincidence the congressman-turned-TMZ hottie is the first congressman born in the 1980s; he’s a member of my own Generation Y. Schock is 27 years old and has been in politics since he was elected to the Peoria school board at age 19—making him the youngest person to ever serve on a school board in Illinois.
The photo below from TMZ reveals his secret weapon - rock hard abs!!!
Luckily for Obama, Congressman Abs will be too young to run for president until 2016. Whew!!! Dodged a bullet for a few years. In a poll on the Huffington Post Schock was voted the Hottest Congressional Freshman.
Meghan is convinced that he can communicate with her generation in ways her father never could (it's been YEARS since John McCain was the Hottest Congressional Freshman).
When I asked Schock who his favorite president was, he told me Teddy Roosevelt, because he was "a very progressive minded... but at the same time conservative-principled person." I would venture to say Schock is of the same mind. If nothing else, in an Obama-crazed land, he is getting people’s attention and putting another fresh face at the center of what it is too often perceived as an old-news, boring party.
Democrats - you have been warmed. Now start shaking in your boots!
