McCain Will Not Tap Wife's Assets
"The dire financial situation of Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign has some observers wondering why he doesn't dip into his family's fortune," the Arizona Republic reports.

McCain, unlike rival Mitt Romney, "isn't independently wealthy. His household is wealthy thanks to his wife, Cindy McCain, who inherited a lucrative Budweiser beer distributorship from her father, the late Jim Hensley." Her assets are value in excess of $24 million.

But McCain flatly ruled out such a move: "I value my marriage too much. I have never thought about it. I would never do such a thing, so I wouldn't know what the legalities are."
