Not major news for the McCain camp, or voters...

[temperance14]

but Cindy McCain is not an only child.

This will not make a difference in how I evaluate the McCain--first ladies make no difference to the campaign.

But between this and Cindy's refusals to reveal personal financial information,
I'm starting to find her a bit irritating.

One other note: For all I know, The Other McCain may be the sort of sibling one REALLY wishes to forget with good reason. There may be some very good reason her family was left without an active credit card. And that's going to get ugly for her if she expects no one to dig up any material.

But I'm suprised Cindy McCain has not learned the political lesson of the last few years:
nothing and no one stays hidden when you are running for Very Public office.
Did she think unhappy people were going to stay quiet?

Everybody's got to learn. Jenna Bush. Roger Clinton. Maureeen Reagan. Billy Carter. Oy vey, Billy Carter.

Reading the story, it seems that Cindy McCain grew up as an only child, even if there were half-siblings in other households that she rarely met. It's a fine line, but I don't think she's being deliberately untruthful.

On the other hand, dammit, she should release her financial info. It was legitimate to ask Hillary where all that money for Whitewater came from, and it's legitimate to ask if there are any conflicts in the McCain's past.
