SOLVED. YA Fiction: novel where a teen has a secret blog and only has 100 items, which he posts a picture of daily. [s]

I read this book about 14 years ago (c. 2005?), I can literally still see it in my mind's eye on the shelf in the library: it's one of two novels, the second where he tries to run for president of the U.S. when he's 18 years old--it's politically liberal, I think the author's last name probably starts with an M/N/O around there.

At the end of this book (with the 100 items) he fakes his suicide to get away from all of the press attention. Also I think his mom died from cancer and he has an obsession with the band U2.
