Elske McCain was born on September 4, 1976, in Yuma, Arizona, USA.
What is John McCain's current job title?
McCain is the senior United States Senator of Arizona and the presidential nominee for the Republican party.
How much does Cindy McCain the wife of Presidential candidate John McCain weigh?
^ that person must be a stalker to know that

Who were John Burgoyne's parents?
He was the eldest son of John Burgoyne and Anna Maria, daughter of Charles Burneston, of Hackney, in Middlesex.
What does John McCain's daughter Sidney do?
She works for EMI, lives in Toronto, did a smidge of politicking for her dad but generally stays out of it. Wiki has a reference that she and her step-brothers from McCain's first marriage did not attend his wedding to Cindy (no surprise - it was just one month after he divorced their handicapped and ill mother). And they were estranged for quite some time. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080213.wmccain13/BNStory/usElection2008 I'm sure she also wasn't thrilled when he came back from Vietnam and started having multiple affairs while living with her mother. I'm surprised she supports him as much as she does. Tells you a LOT about his character.
How did John McCain vote on Martin Luther King Holiday in favor of or against?
Most glaringly, McCain as a young congressman in 1983 voted against a federal holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Most Republicans in the House voted for the holiday (89 voted for the holiday, 77 opposed), though all three Arizona House Republicans were opposed. Reps. Dick Cheney, R-Wyoming, and Newt Gingrich, R-Georgia, voted for the holiday. (Cheney had voted against it in 1978.)
In December 1999 McCain told NBC's Tim Russert, "on the Martin Luther King issue, we all learn, OK? We all learn. I will admit to learning, and I hope that the people that I represent appreciate that, too. I voted in 1983 against the recognition of Martin Luther King….I regret that vote."
The holiday went into effect in 1986. Only 27 states and D.C. honored the holiday that first year. Activists in state after state tried to prevent it from being recognized.
In Arizona, a bill to recognize a holiday honoring MLK failed in the legislature, so then-Gov. Bruce Babbitt, a Democrat, declared one through executive order.
In January 1987, the first act of Arizona's new governor, Republican Evan Mecham, was to rescind the executive order by his predecessor to create an MLK holiday. Arizona's stance became a national controversy.
McCain backed the decision at the time. But eventually he changed his mind.
In 1990, Arizonans were given an opportunity to vote to observe an MLK holiday. McCain successfully appealed to former President Ronald Reagan to support the holiday. In a letter to voters, Reagan wrote that he hoped Arizonans would "join me in supporting a holiday to commemorate these ideals to which Dr. King dedicated his life."
Mecham, for his part, opposed the holiday, saying, "I guess King did a lot for the colored people, but I don't think he deserves a national holiday."
The 1990 referendum failed.
And as a direct result, the National Football League rescinded its original decision to have Super Bowl XXVII played in Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona.
In November 1992, Arizonans voted to re-elect McCain over a challenge from Mecham. They also voted in favor of an MLK holiday.
Did John McCain's father pay for his college education at Annapolis?

No. Although badly injured from her Christmas, 1969 car accident in Phildelphia- in which she was thrown from her car, fractured both legs, broke her pelvis and arm, and bled internally for hours before being discovered ("Faith of My Fathers", page 301)- Carol McCain survived after years of intense physical therapy, and today lives in Virginia just down the street from her oldest son. The other Carol M is still living
