Or to be more precise, his wife's money. His Vietnam POW war story makes him a hero (though there were 600 other brave American POW's you don't hear too much about). His wife is Cindy McCain...better known as the beer lady. Her net worth has been estimated to be hovering just over the $100,000,000 mark. Not to say he doesn't have money himself, which he does...but she's undoubtedly his rock. Like John Kerry's wife (The Heinz lady) was his.
You take his story, her money, pick a party and bam...you have a presidential nominee. A presidential nominee whose 72 years old, has had cancer 4 times...and chose a woman to be his running mate to scoop up the 18 million floating Hilary supporters. I don't know if Hilary supporters are naive enough to buy into it but hey...maybe they just want to see a woman in office so bad where it takes precedence over what they're really getting if she's sworn in. Palin is a great woman, a leader, a trooper and a fighter...there's no denying that. But this is politics, almost nothing about it is fair and yet everything is called fair.
