McCain’s Kids Older Than His Veep Running Mate
ST. PAUL, Minn. - John McCain’s arrival in St. Paul today featured a rare public gathering of his seven children from two marriages, including two adopted stepsons older than his running mate Sarah Palin.
Not that you’d know that from reading the McCain camp’s press release on the arrival, which omitted their ages (read it after the jump).
The campaign press release lists the ages of McCain’s four children with second wife Cindy, who are all younger than 23. But the ages are omitted of McCain’s two adopted children from his first marriage to the former Carol Shepp: Doug McCain, 48, a former Navy A6-E “Intruder” pilot and now an American Airlines captain, and Andy McCain, 46, a vice president of the Hensley & Co. beer distributorship in Arizona owned by his step-mom Cindy.
Both of McCain’s adopted sons are older than both Alaska Gov. Palin, 44, and Democratic opponent Barack Obama, 47.
