At the risk of sounding like a jerk, I'd really like to know when that cold chill went through Cindy upon hearing about Obama's nefarious vote against troop funding.

In order to determine when that moving moment only a mother could understand happened I looked up when that vote took place. May 24th 2007.

Of course that bill passed with 80 aye votes...so that must have warmed her up. Her son was in Iraq after all. Or not.

As of July of 2007 John McCain's son was still stateside. I can't find an exact deployment date but He returned in February 2008 and a guy quoted in that article says that their unit was deployed for 7 months. So Jimmy McCain didn't leave until sometime in August by my math.

So, Cindy experienced no cold chill when her husband voted against the first war funding bill. Nor when her President vetoed it. Only when Barack Obama voted against the second bill on the day it passed anyway while her son was still in this country.

RIGHT.
