I found this on Wikipedia and thought it was interesting. Until now, I haven't known much about Cindy McCain:
She received a Bachelor of Arts in education and a Master of Arts in special education, both from the University of Southern California.[2][17] At USC, she was a cheerleader[18][14] and joined the socially conservative Kappa Alpha Theta sorority as a freshman.[10][19] There she participated in a movement therapy pilot program that laid the way for a standard treatment for children with severe disabilities;[17] she published the work Movement Therapy: A Possible Approach in 1978.[20] Declining a role in the family business,[21] she then began a special education teaching career working with children with Down syndrome and other disabilities at Agua Fria High School in Avondale, Arizona.[17][6][14]

Between Cindy & Sarah Palin....we've got an "in" at the White House.....did anyone else watch Sarah Palin's speech....she looked right in the camera ( right at me, I thought) and said any Special Needs Parents....know that you have an advocate in the White House with me !!

It seems like she's kept that role pretty well thru her lifetime. Watching her bio, I know it seems like she gives an awful lot of herself and her talent to others.

Alissa, I felt the same – Sarah had looked right at me and said that I will have a friend and advocate in White house.
