PHOENIX (AP) - Cindy McCain, wife of Sen. John McCain, suffered a small stroke and was hospitalized in stable condition Tuesday.
"According to her physician, the prognosis is cautiously excellent," McCain said in a statement Tuesday.

Cindy McCain, 49, had a small bleed in her brain and her speech is mildly affected, said Robert Spetzler, director of the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital.

9. Substance abuse takes its toll on the cardiovascular system.
Cindy has a 'history.'

I had a fairly bad stroke at 46.

I hope her recovery is complete.

13. God Bless Her.
Here's a kind-hearted woman who has really worked for the benefit of humanity. I really like her. I hope she recovers without further problems. It won't necessarily be easy; one of my relative had two aneuryms before age 30.

On a side note, I guess The Pigboy would have liked to see her incarcerated for her previous Rx drug problem. But i guess he didn't call her by name when he made those comments; it was easier to razz Kittie Dukakis, etc.

18. Best Wishes for a Speedy Recovery, Mrs. McCain!
Horrible news, and she's far too young. I do hope she'll come through this as strong as ever.

I'm not much for praying, but my thoughts are with the Senator, his wife, and his family at this time. :-(

20. So sorry to hear about this.
Praying for the entire family, and wishing a full recovery for Mrs. McCain. This has to be rough for them, but I'm certainly glad they didn't lose her.

Life is so short and precious and fragile - and vulnerable.

I notice that Democrats want this lady to recover. I doubt that Repugs could do the same, if the situation were reversed, except for Conservatives like John McCain...
