An interesting point made by this Channel 12 newswoman is taking into account the spouses of candidates for president. Here are some excerpts:

"John McCain has been effectively running for the 2008 Presidency for a long time now," Eachern says.

But, is Cindy McCain ready? In 2000, critics attacked her and political cartoons surfaced highlighting her past drug addiction to prescription pain meds. The same year, she's on a national morning TV show defending herself.

"What happened to me is actually a very dark period in my life and not something that I would ever, ever want to repeat, however I'm a better person and I know a better parent for having been through it," Cindy McCain says.

But, with the business of politics, it's likely the past will resurface. "When you run for public office you have no privacy, I mean the closet is wide open," Arizona voter Freda Carlson says. Voters alike say politics can be ugly.
