I have some questions about John McCain......

[woolldog]

What's this about him leaving his first wife when she got ill?

What's the story on his cancer and the growth he has on the left side of his face?

What would happen if before getting enough delegates to win, he suddenly had to withdraw from the race? Would that mean Huckabee would be the nominee?

What happens if after getting the nomination, but before the GE he suddenly has to withdraw from the race? What would the GOP do?

5. I Don't Know Much

His first wife stayed with him while he was a POW. She became disabled and he did not stay with her although I don't know if the current wife played any part in his leaving.

10. on the first question;

http://partners.nytimes.com/library/politics/camp/022700wh-gop-mccain.html

The story began when Vietnam released Mr. McCain and other prisoners of war in March 1973. He stepped off a military transport plane on crutches, an instant war hero, and quickly had a painful shock.

His wife, Carol, a tall, slim woman who had once been a model, had nearly died in a car wreck in 1969. H. Ross Perot, the businessman and advocate of prisoners of war, had paid for her medical care, but the injuries left her four inches shorter and on crutches, and she had gained a good deal of weight.

<snip>
Mr. McCain has acknowledged running around with women and accepted responsibility for the breakup of the marriage, without going into details. But his supporters and his biographer, Robert Timberg, all suggest that the marriage had already effectively ended and that the couple had separated by the time he met Cindy, his present wife.

That might be the most soothing way of explaining a politician's divorce from a disabled wife and his remarriage to a wealthy heiress, but it does not jibe with accounts of family members and friends.
