Seems like an odd choice to me, since Cindy has all the warmth of a reptile inexpensive clothes. I guess the "common touch" of Palin has been recognized as a failure, though.

Cindy McCain goes after Obama

Cindy McCain used a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Wednesday to launch her most severe attack on Barack Obama to date. McCain, who had previously shown little inclination to use her son's military service as a weapon against the Democratic nominee, suggested that he had let down the McCain boys by voting against funding for the troops.

This is not a new attack against Obama -- John McCain accused him of the same thing during their first debate, and in an ad as well -- but this time the charge was reframed in more emotional terms.

"I'm a blue star mom, just like Gov. Palin is," Cindy McCain said. "I'm proud of my sons, but let me tell you, the day that Sen. Obama decided to cast a vote to not fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body.

"I would suggest that Sen. Obama change shoes with me for just one day, and see what it means to have a loved one serving in the armed forces, and more importantly, serving in harms way. I suggest he take a day and go watch our fine young men and women deploy, get on those busses and leave with a smile and a charge."

While the suggestion that Obama try on McCain's heels -- a sartorial decision that might further alienate the fabled "Joe Sixpacks" across America -- can not reasonably be interpreted as a suggestion that Obama send his young daughters to Iraq, it can certainly be seen as part of the McCain camp's "Obama doesn't understand" offensive.

Unfortunately for the McCain campaign, though, the accusation doesn't hold water. Obama has only voted against one troop funding bill out of the eleven that have come up during his time in the Senate. He did so only after the original bill, which contained an Iraq withdrawal timeline, was vetoed by President Bush.

Over the past two days, Cindy McCain has suddenly been taking a more prominent role in the campaign, and as an attack dog to boot. On Tuesday, she accused Obama of waging "the dirtiest campaign in American history."

Excellent post. The McCains might look at the fact that a Repug administration illegally declared war agains Iraq after lies and cover-ups about "intelligence" and that their own party and president are the reasons her sons are over there.

She'll sit and beg like a cute puppy.

I don't think that Obama could afford her shoes.

I knew noting of Cindy before your post yest, so looked her and their history up!!!! mmmm give us back Nancy f that is the new 1st Lady. She is horrid. So is he. In my book anyway.

Wow, guess she's fair game, then, and we can bring up her adultery, her father's mob links, and her drug problems in public?

Cool....:)

the Republicians don't want to win cos' they cannot clean up the mess they have made. They will wait until Obama and co have got the economy cleaned up and healthy and then come back with a wow, meanwhile 'back at the ranch' they have found a few missfits to throw to the wolves. Have a good meal wolves :-) I might come and have a nibble now and again if you don't mind my bad manners :-)

Tear 'em up, Cindy!

Pinkos are so fragile, they are afraid of a girl named Cindy! All the Cindy's I used to know were terribly sensitive and shy. I just can't see it.

Dims, I think ye protest too much.

Bet you'd look cute in her shoes too, doggie :)

And yet you want "a girl" to be a mere heartbeat away from a sick and elderly president.

Has there been any clarification as to wtf she's talking about when she claims that Obama is waging "the dirtiest campaign in American history"???

Well, for sure this one would be clearly better than That One.
