Is it just me or does John McCain's pick for Vice President bear an eerie resemblance to John McCain's first wife back in the early days? 

John McCain's first wife was a beautiful brunnete, and a model, when they first married.  As many of you know, Carol McCain suffered a terrible accident on Christmas Eve on 1969 when her car skidded on ice and hit a telephone pole.

John McCain was at the time a prisoner of war, and prisoner of war advocate Ross Perot paid for Carol McCain's extensive care.  Unfortunately, the injuries were extensive, and Carol faced extensive rehabilitation.  When John McCain returned from Vietnam, she was not physically the same as when he left. 

As you may know, John McCain cheated on his injured wife on several occassions.  Carol and John eventually divorced due to this infidelity, and McCain, high on his new-found fame as a returned POW, married a younger, prettier, and wealthier woman; his current wife Cyndi McCain.
