There is an old saying that you can marry more in 5 minutes than you can earn in a lifetime. She is good looking, wealthy, younger; what's not to like?

If we are not to judge Barak Obama based upon the comments of his wife, then we likewise shouldn't judge John McCain based upon his wife's desire for financial privacy.

perhaps she/he are among the 23% of republicans that think the economy is doing just fine (see related article)

Cindy you are so right.
Your finances shouldn't see the light.
Your privacy is your full excuse.
But what do you have to lose?

Honesty.
Is it still the best policy?

We peons and peasants understand,
You don't want to show up your man.

Really, worth a 100 million cool ones? In what companies is your stock, etc. Has John ever voted and it helped your wealth.

Good move. This way we will never, ever know.

Sounds like a Bush move. The game has just begun.

I dont make more than my husband, we're not in politics, there's no need or gain in us filing separately, but neither are we going to publicize our tax returns. John Mc Cain doesnt really have much of a choice in whether he can choose to keep it private or not, but SHE can. She's not running for politics, her money is not from politics either, and it's substantial enough to draw absurd comment.
