I just received this email today and I thought it would be an interesting read.

Subject: Cindy McCain

Cindy McCain

This is an interesting article as not much was known about her. She was on
Leno the other night and it was an interesting interview. It turns out that
she is a character as she is or has been a race car driver and is also a
pilot, and flies John around the country to his rallies. After hearing that
about her and reading this I now have a lot of respect for her.

Election 2008: Cindy Hensley McCain has been disparaged as a trophy wife, a
Barbie, an heiress with fancy purses, even the Paris Hilton of politics. But
there's more to the picture than meets the eye.

Yes, Mrs. McCain is the perfectly coifed blonde standing dutifully behind
the senator during his speeches. And yes, she wears stylish clothing and
carries a Prada purse. And it's true she doesn't say much. But feminist critics who
write her off as a 'stand-by-your-man' shrinking violet are selling her
short. In many ways, Cindy McCain stacks up sturdier than Michelle Obama. And she'd make a more impressive first lady.

Mrs. McCain: More than meets the eye.

While Obama's wife has been hating America, complaining about the war and
undermining our troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, McCain's wife has been
worrying about her sons who actually are fighting or planning to fight in the
war on terror. One, in fact, was until a few months ago deployed in Iraq
during some of the worst violence.

You don't hear the McCain's talk about it, but their 19-year-old Marine,
Jimmy, is preparing for his second tour of duty. Their 21-year-old son, Jack, is
poised to graduate from Annapolis and also could join the Marines as a
second lieutenant. The couple made the decision not to draw attention to their
sons out of respect for other families with sons and daughters in harm's way.

Cindy also says she doesn't want to risk falling apart on the campaign trail
talking about Jimmy who was so young when he enlisted she had to sign
consent forms for his medical tests before he could report for duty and potentially
upsetting parents of soldiers who are serving or have been killed.

The McCain's want to make sure their boys get no special treatment. Same
goes for their five other children, including a daughter they adopted from
Bangladesh. During a visit to Mother Teresa's orphanage there, Cindy noticed a
dying baby. The orphanage could not provide the medical care needed to save her
life. So she brought the child home to America for the surgery she
desperately needed. The baby is now their healthy, 16-year-old daughter, Bridget.

Though all seven McCain children, including two Sen. McCain adopted from his
first marriage, are supportive of their father, they prefer their privacy to
the glare of the campaign trail. Another daughter, Meghan, 23, helps him
behind the scenes.

Cindy McCain not only cherishes her children, but also her country, which in
an election year filled with America-bashing, is a refreshing novelty. She
seethed when she heard Michelle Obama's unpatriotic remarks that she only
recently grew proud of America. 'I am very proud of my country,' Mrs. McCain
asserted.

She also may be tougher than the other women in the race. She witnessed a boy get blown up by a mine in Kuwait region
during a trip with an international group that removes land mines from war-torn
countries.

Mrs. McCain also is a hands-on philanthropist. She sits on the board of
Operation Smile, which arranges for plastic surgeons to fix cleft palates and
other birth defects. She also has helped organize relief missions to Micronesia.

During a scuba-diving vacation to the islands, Mrs. McCain took a friend to
a local hospital to have a cut treated. She was shocked, and saddened, by
what she saw.

'They opened the door to the OR, where the supplies were, and there were two
cats and a whole bunch of rats climbing out of the sterile supplies,' she
recalled. 'They had no X-ray machine, no beds. To me, it was devastating
because it was a U.S. trust territory.'

As soon as she returned home, she arranged for medical equipment and teams
of doctors to be sent to treat the island children.

Michelle Obama may contribute to CARE, which fights global poverty and works
to empower poor women. Cindy sits on its board.

While some women talk about helping the poor and needy, Cindy McCain
actually rolls up her sleeves and does it. Who's the out-of-touch elitist?

The campaign is trying to "sound like us" by speaking the language , but not really making any promises.

That's old stuff TA. You already know who I am. Try not to be sooooooooooo cliche, alright?
It was an email.
Lots of postings made by all.

about Cindy McCain to share another view of the Republican election machinery like you.
I didn't think it would be a good idea to give it a headline.

He was asking about Green, as in planet environmental issues, not in green, as in the color of Cindy's money.

prize is "which oil company will win it?" Well, another question is "for what bs product or process that they already have, but won't release?"

didn't much care for McCain's speech and they don't seem to care much for him. Their 2007 scorecard on Congress rated him a big fat 0%. Obama got a 67% rating.
