"The era I was raising my children was the era when you had to be Super Mom," she said. "I was putting too much pressure on myself."
Cindy McCain has said she quit cold turkey in 1992 after her parents confronted her. She told the magazine she hid her dependency from her husband "because I didn't want to let him down."
I wouldn't count on weekend pundits focusing on the abuse of power angle unless it gets bigger play elsewhere.
