She just might. James Kirchick of Out magazine reports:
Yet even as the balance begins to shift, the old guard is still yapping in the foreground. Shortly before McCain sat for this interview, Samuel Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, gave an interview to Christianity Today in which he complained about “queers” and declared, “I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.” Unprompted, McCain rails against the man her father’s presidential campaign touted as an American everyman and made a showpiece in the weeks before the election. “Joe the Plumber — you can quote me — is a dumbass. He should stick to plumbing.”

Even McCain himself is personally unpopular among the GOP. He only won the primary because 1. he’s a famous war-hero that the media had long praised and 2. he was the most dedicated defender of the Iraq war. I don’t think his daughter will have any influence over the party.
