Cindy McCain, wife of Sen. John McCain, is headed to the Republic of Georgia, where tensions between the government and Russia have sparked international concern and have become an issue on the presidential campaign trail.
McCain announced to a group of fundraisers in Sacramento that his wife was headed to the country, but the campaign did not provide any details about the trip.
McCain has been very aggressive in his condemnation of Russia's invasion of Georgia, and his campaign has been critical of Obama's more measured response when Russian tanks first pushed into the country.
McCain spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker confirmed Cindy McCain is enroute to the nation and said she is visiting as part of the World Food Program. She said she will meet with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and visit with wounded Georgian soldiers.

Durasell! You are very naughty! LOL
Seriously, this election is not an optimal one. We can’t have Obama in the White House and McCain is our alternative.
He’s not the a great alternative but he’s the only one we have.
Depending on who he chooses for his VP I will probably vote for him. But I will never consider his wife someone I could respect. The pain medication she stole could have alleviated some poor person’s suffering. Not only did she get away with it she destroyed the person who reported her.
I’ll probably vote for McCain but I will never have respect for his wife.
In 1989, Cindy underwent back surgery twice for ruptured discs. But the operations failed to ease the pain.
She was taking pain medication she wasn’t a coke head.
Glad you appreciated the joke.
But in all seriousness — we are very, very far beyond the whole “look at the wife” thing. The country is facing some serious problems and we need a serious leader.
Agreed.
You are so right. The contry is facing some very serious problems. We need a serious leader. We cannot have someone like Obama in the White House.
The McCain campaign should stress the issues and the problems. They should not be pushing Cindy as the new Mother Teresa.
yeah, and every time a candidate or his wife goes some place like this, it costs us taxpayers a fortune for the Secret Service protection.
this is crap.

There is an article there about Cindy and on the right are some links to past humanitarian trips she has gone on - most recently to Rwanda with Sen Frist and Mike Huckabee.
She probably funds most of these trips on her own.
JMHO...Cindy going to the Republic of Georgia give’s me an impression of maturity, of an adult involved in matters of substance. John gives off the same vibes. The Obama’s on the other hand give the impression of lackadaisical, narcissistic juveniles, concerned more with their own personage and what they feel is due it.
..........The pain medication she stole could have alleviated some poor person’s suffering..........
Get over it!!! She did what she did, like so many others, Rush included.
Your choice is a total empty suit; or a war vet who spent three decades in the senate.
And, your problem is some drugs his wife took that could have been better used to help a poor person’s suffering???
We’re taking about the potential future of civilization as we know it, and single issue voters are concerned about Cindy taking some drugs, or when is a fetus a human??
If Obama and the RATS take over congress AND the executive branch, we have no worries like interest rates, home values, tax rates:
We have worries over whether home insurance covers war losses, once Iran and other rag-heads; N Korea; China; and the resurgent Russia tries to decide who is the most powerful nation in the world! A few nucs, detonated far away, will impact you and your family for mega years. Bush understands that; yet Pelosi is still on the marriage alter with some SF queers, who may have a life span of another six months! A Total Strategic Loser!
We have choices - this election isn’t about abortion, or a wife’s pain medication.
Wasn’t Princess Di humping some muzzie while she was still married to Prince Charles?
God bless Cindy McCain.
This is fantastic!! When she returns, she will have equaled Obama in foreign policy experience. Maybe she is taking the Hillary route in trying to succeed her husband after his first term ends.
