I think you have some misinformation about the first wife. She says that it was she that asked for the divorce. She and John have an amicable relationship to this day. His cruel treatment of his first wife is a myth and this lie has become a ‘fact’ through constant repetition by the press. You can vote for whomever you wish or not vote at all. I think Obama will win the election and his National Security Force (to be as strong and well funded as the military) will give us more than something to think about.

Has he established an Obama Youth organization yet?

Best of luck!

Although McCain suggested in his autobiography that months passed between his divorce and remarriage, the divorce was granted April 2, 1980, and he wed Hensley in a private ceremony five weeks later. McCain obtained an Arizona marriage license on March 6, 1980, while still legally married to his first wife.

Until McCain filed for divorce, the Reagans and their inner circle assumed he was happily married, and they were stunned to learn otherwise, according to several close aides.

"Everybody was upset with him," recalled Nancy Reynolds, a top aide to the former president who introduced him to McCain.
