After reading the article I was left with the impression that Cindy McCain does not seem to be well suited to a life in the public eye. The life of a public figure is very difficult, and they are placed under constant scrutiny. Cindy McCain's history of drug problems and emotional distress do not seem to be the makings of a stable first lady. The article also makes me think less of John McCain. He was much older then Cindy when he met her and a married man. It is surprising that conservatives are willing to accept John McCain's indiscretions but have made major scandals out of any Democratic indiscretion. If John McCain were the president when he began his relationship with Cindy they would not be very different from Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. I did not know much about the McCain family before I read this article, but it has not left me with an improved opinion of them.
