Meghan McCain, GOP pundit and daughter of Senator John McCain (R-AZ), announced on her Twitter page Thursday that she will be the featured speaker at GW's "Marriage Equality Week" in February.
"Yes, I am the keynote speaker at George Washington University's 'Marriage Equality Week' next month. Can't wait, very honored to be asked," McCain posted earlier today.
McCain drew attention following the 2008 presidential campaign for her often frank analysis on reforming the GOP and a scantily-clad Twitter photo earlier this year.

Among the most anticipated events of the election season occurred last night when Senator Hillary Clinton took the stage. The one-time White House hopeful was given the task of uniting the party after a primary that tested the endurance, and tolerance of the American electorate. Within the first few minutes of her speech she declared her unconditional support for Senator Obama, putting some rumors to rest that she was still harboring resentment towards the junior Senator from Illinois. At the same time she thanked the 18 million people who cast their ballot for her, implying that it moved America one step closer towards gender equality.
Former Virginia Governor, presidential candidate, senatorial hopeful, and GW alum Mark Warner took the stage last night for the keynote address, the same slot that thrust Senator Barack Obama into the national spotlight when he gave it at the 2004 convention. He spoke of his roots in business and on the economic conditions of the country. Tying John McCain to George W. Bush, he declared that America cannot move forward with leadership that is "stuck in the past."
While Warner has held political office before he is perceived as the future of the Democratic Party. The fact that he is from Virginia, where Democrats hope to win in November, may have played into the decision to give Warner the keynote spot. He is also considered a contender for the 2012 Presidential race.
