John McCain had to be feeling pretty good Tuesday morning when he was mobbed at his only public appearance in the state -- if for no other reason than he didn't get injured. As the Straight Talk Express, his traveling press bus, rolled into a polling station, he was swarmed by media and mobs of supporters screeching "Mac is back!" McCain and wife Cindy tried to weave through the parking lot as the throng engulfed them. They didn't get too far. At one point his supporters got into a chanting match with Romney supporters, who yelled "Go Romney" to rival shouts of "Go McCain."

In the end, it was a bit much for the McCains, who clearly wanted to live to enjoy his potential comeback -- after he was all but written off last summer -- in the state that gave him his 2000 victory over George W. Bush.
Cindy McCain is the beautiful second wife of Senator John McCain, and has helped her husband campaign for President as shown in the pictures. She was also a chair of the Arizona delegation to the Republican National Convention.


Cindy McCain Biography

Cindy McCain was born to James and Marguerite Hensley, and raised in Arizona. McCain obtained her undergraduate degree in Education and a Masters in Special Education at USC. She then taught in Arizona. Her parents, the Hensley’s, founded Hensley & Company, which is one of the four largest Anheuser-Busch distributors in the nation. Cindy is now a chair for the company.

Cindy McCain also does charity work. She is the founder of the American Voluntary Medical team, has led medical missions in developing countries such as Micronesia, Nicaragua, Bangladesh, and El Salvador. She also serves on the board of directors for several non-profit organizations such as CARE, Operation Smile, and HALO Trust.

In 1980 she married a war hero who is 20 years her senior, Senator John McCain. She became the stepmother to three children and mother to four children. In Bangladesh she brought a young girl home for medical treatment and later adopted her.

Cindy McCain has done many saintly things but she has had her fair share of problems. In 1994 McCain admitted she suffered an addiction to painkillers and admitted she had been stealing drugs such as Percocet and Vicodin, from her non profit American Voluntary medical team to support her habit since 1989. She came forward after claiming sobriety for many years, in hopes of giving other addicts hope and courage.

McCain suffered a stroke in April 2004 due to high blood pressure, but appears to have made a full recovery. See more photos and video of Cindy after the jump.

“I did feel a lot of nostalgia last night…When the told me you’re going to do seven events yesterday…I said WHY?” McCain said as he made a funny face. “I’m so glad, after that last one I wanted to do two more! It’s a wonderful experience,” he admitted.

He remarked on his victory in the midnight vote in Dixville Notch - a New Hampshire tradition where 16 eligible voters came out and, on the Republican side, McCain won 4 votes compared to Romney’s 2.

“We have all the earmarks of a landslide with the Dixville Notch vote,” he laughed. McCain made two campaign stops this year. “That’s two votes per trip,” he explained calculating the math and holding up two fingers for his audience on the back of the bus.

“In case you haven’t noticed, we have endorsed John McCain for president,” McCain read from the Manchester Union Leader to the press on the back of the bus and laughed. “And it says difficult times for Mitt and Hillary by Bob Novak,” he continued before turning the page to check out a cartoon image of himself.
