Get used to it. By the time this election comes to vote, McCain won’t be able to take a dump without the media reporting now bad it will be

[ravingnutter]

Contrasted with their wealth, that's chickenfeed.

Cindy McCain Had $6 Million Income in 2006

Hey Johnny Mac?

What’s in YOUR wallet?

[Cobra64]

BFD.

What a bunch of morons...

I've run my Amex up to $35k on any given month.

It's called "business travel."

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

Everyone on this thread seems to be overlooking the obvious explanation: McCain ran up this debt when his campaign was out of money last fall, and campaign finance laws forbid Cindy from paying it off for him [just like they forbade TuRAYzuh from paying off Kerry's debt].

If that's the case, and if his campaign still hasn't raised enough money to pay off his debts from last fall, then he really is doomed.

McCain’s not my favorite, but this story is lame. It’s not like they’re declaring bankruptcy or saying they can’t pay their bills! I swear, 24/7 news is one of the WORST things that’s happened to truth and relevance. All their crap just filling up space.

[Abathar]

The man is on the campaign trail and they pull this crap? He probably hasn’t had cash in his pocket in years, a couple of cards and he is set almost anywhere he goes for any amount he needs. With the kind of assets they are sitting on this is so much BS even on a slow news day.

See my #46.

The wealthy never carry money. Their underlings take care of paying the monthly payment every month.

Unlike us, the wealthy carry large balances. Sometimes the wealthiest are the best business people in the world. That's why they're wealthy.

If Cindy McCain buys a $50,000 suite of furniture, it goes on the credit card. The credit card companies love customers like this.

The Queen of England also never carries cash money, either, even a hanky. That's why she and other royal queens have ladies-in-waiting trailing them everywhere they go.

You never, ever see Hillary carrying a purse, ever. She doesn't even carry germ-ridden, commoner cash in her bra to tip waitresses with.

Like the Queen she has a lady-in-waiting, Huma, trailing her everywhere she goes to take care of the mundane chores of life like handling plebian money out in the market place.

I think they can afford it.

[KarlInOhio]

Is that the McCains' personal debt or is the AmEx for Mrs. McCain's business. Often a bank will not give a business a credit card. Sure, they'll print the business name on the card but the owner has to sign for it personally. If this card was signed for personally then it has to be reported by Sen. McCain as a personal debt in financial disclosures.

There might even be a lot of people at the beer company with access to this account so business purchases can be made quickly rather than having to get a purchase order or write a check.

On one hand he has a wife that cranks up 100 gs on her charge card.

OTOH, he has a wife that can crank up 100 gs on her charge card. LOL.

[Churchillspirit]

Credit card debt is an agreed debt....compare that to Hitlery's $21 million.

Odds are that the McCains will pay their CC debt, while folks waiting for money from Clinton........

[LucyT]

This is a frivolous article. I never carry cash. All my utilities and all purchases are charged to either American Express or Master Card and are paid off each month, interest free.

[TexasCajun]

He can always cross the isle one more time and tell Obama he’ll conceed the election for the good of America if he’ll just make him VP and pay his bills.

[EDINVA]

These are figures required for FEC filings. I’d venture those were ‘debts’ at the time of the filing. It isn’t to say they are debts that haven’t been or won’t be paid.

[Paperdoll]

$100,000.00? Mere pocket change for the McCains.

[ncalburt]

Just another Obama newsletter called the The Hill running another of its series of McCain hit pieces . There real busy there peddling Obama press releases as news.Did you catch the other tired hit piece which declare a huge scandal that the Repubs like Chuck Hagel and Ron Paul and Congress Davis ( NC - the anti war nut) did not support Mccain !

[Not A Snowbird]

So what? Think of all the membership rewards points she’s racking up!

As long as they pay their bills on time, it’s their business.

[Skenderbej]

Without knowing how the McCain’s run their finances, I would assume that this is their way of using someone else’s money for free for 30 days. They can use that 100-200k during the month to invest and collect interest for themselves, then pay their credit debts before they start paying interest on them.

[ozzymandus]

Not enough info. Are they paying credit-card interest on this $100,000? Or are they paying off the balance before credit charges accrue? If the latter, they’re just getting free use of the money for 30 days.
