This article pulls me in opposite directions. I cannot decide if I like or hate that Cindy McCain is not completely absorbed into following politics and her husband’s dream of becoming president. Part of me likes the fact that Cindy is an independent woman who pursues her own goals and doesn’t just follow her husband around on his campaign trail. She has her own life too; separate from all the politics that dominate John McCain’s life. On the other hand though, wouldn’t you want a First Lady who is more interested in being that part? I feel as though the family in general should be more involved with the campaign. I feel like the whole should be on board when a parent is running for presidency. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that John McCain’s family doesn’t support him, but just from reading this article it seems as though the whole family is not really involved at all with the campaign.
Furthermore, I think it is refreshing to hear of someone in such a special position (potential first lady) who hasn’t had a perfect life like TV makes it seem. She’s had her stuggles and she has had her share of ups and downs. I feel like that makes her seem more relatable.
Overall, the article really just tears me down the middle.
