Cindy has what it takes to be the first lady
She is also well prepared for the role. Heiress to a fortune estimated at more than $100 million and chairwoman of one of the largest privately held companies in Arizona, McCain has travelled overseas extensively with different philanthropic organisations, visiting Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Angola, India, Vietnam and other countries.
She has dealt with US government agencies, championed relief work through her charities and overseen the family business, gaining valuable experience that would serve her well as first lady if her husband, Republican John McCain, wins the presidential election.
