The Race for 3008: Spousal Abuse
Appearing in the Cincinnati Post, Ann McFeatters describes the fate of candidates’ spouses and the families they are trying hard to hold together: “They rarely speak of their special frustrations. Michelle Obama has two young daughters who resent her travel and to whom she has promised a dog when the campaign ends. Ann Romney has multiple sclerosis and hates fund-raising. Elizabeth Edwards has inoperable cancer and young children. Jeri Thompson is 24 years younger than her husband and has a 12-month-old daughter in diapers. Cindy McCain, like Edwards, has done this all before and finds herself more thin-skinned this time.”
