"John McCain called his wife a very bad name in public"
Where's that little girl who chastised Dick Cheney for what he said to Patrick Leahy at the 2004 convention? Her name was Illeana. Think she'd be up for an encore?

1. She's an Obama supporter...
She was in the news during the primaries.

2. I hope she's been invited to the convention.
I actually met her when she came out to Phoenix in 2004. She was on a kids voting tour. She was really cool and smart. She'll go far.

3. Can you imagine if Obama had called his wife such a name how the media would have reacted!

5. he also did something worse to his other wife- he left her behind
when she needed him the most, because she wasn't the pretty young thing he married.

He is not a very nice man.

6. He certainly did. He is not a nice man. No family values to be found in him.
Obama OTOH clearly loves and respects his wife.

7. Confirmation
Can any one confirm where the McCain calling his wife a c--- happened? My friend doubts this ever happened because it is so unbelievable.

8. Cliff Schecter wrote about it in his book
Here's some pretty good descriptive info on it: http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/4/7/19555/14030

The reporters are anonymous but Schecter mentions 2 other people who were there, along with McCain. Now, if the allegation were untrue, you'd think the McCains or the advisors present would refute it. But they never have.
