John McCain and Cindy McCain Didn’t Vote For Bush In 2000

Interesting note from Arianna Huffington.

At a dinner party in Los Angeles not long after the 2000 election, I was talking to a man and his wife, both prominent Republicans. The conversation soon turned to the new president. “I didn’t vote for George Bush” the man confessed. “I didn’t either,” his wife added. Their names: John and Cindy McCain (Cindy told me she had cast a write-in vote for her husband).

    Yeah.

    So?

    Does this really rise the the level of, say, lapel pins as something worth discussing?

    Perish the thought. Or his man-crush on G. Gordon Liddy.

    Well McCain is good friends with Kerry, right? It’s not a surprise. Bush trashed McCain in the primaries in 2000, so I don’t think Bush and McCain were on the best terms.

    It’s fun trivia, but it doesn’t make McCain a Democrat (that’s for sure).

    If McCain’t ever deserved the ‘maverick’ label, it was when he cast a few contrarian senatorial votes for a brief time after bush took office. Probably out of bitterness, he voted against some of the bush legislation. It’s not too surprising that he and Cindy didn’t vote for bush in 2000.
    But that’s all just a bit of trivia, my friends. Just as trivial as the story that McCain’t made only $400K last year if you subtract Cindy’s income.

    On the contrary, I think it is the epitome of Maverick-ness to introduce and co-sponsor legislation and then vote against it.

    As someone said on Yglesias’ blog. John and Cindy probably both wrote in John’s name. After all, he probably think it was rightfully his after George stole it from him.
