McCain is no Reagan. Even the Reagans knew it. The Reagans saw first hand how McCain dumped his first wife like a hot rock when she became disfigured in favor of a young, rich, politically connected woman:
"Carol did not contest the divorce, and Day said that the couple had reached an agreement in advance on support and division of property. By then she was living in La Mesa, Calif., with the family of Edwin Meese III, a close Reagan aide and future attorney general.
"We knew John and Carol both since he came back from Hanoi in 1973," Meese said recently. "They have been friends of ours ever since. She was with us for maybe four or five months. Their daughter and our daughter were friends, and they went to school together."
Carol was distraught at being blindsided by McCain's intention to end their marriage, said her friends in the Reagan circle.
"They (the Reagans) weren't happy with him," Fitzwater said. Carol "was this little frail person. ... She was broken-hearted."
By that time, Nancy Reagan had come to Carol's aid, hiring her as a press assistant in the 1980 presidential campaign. When the Reagans moved to Washington, Carol was named director of the White House Visitors Office.
"Nancy Reagan was crazy about her," Reynolds said. "But everybody was crazy about Carol McCain. ... And the Meeses were very generous and helpful and comforting to her."
Fitzwater said that living in Southern California and working on the Reagan campaign helped Carol move past the loss of her marriage. "It was perfect for her. She was traveling, and it took her mind off a very, very sad time for her.""

Ross Perot also knows the truth:
"Ross Perot, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel – even by the standards of modern politics.
‘McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory,’ he said.
‘After he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history.’"

"I guess I would believe Carol the most. She supports Mccain."
Why do you think she supports him? Could it have something to do with the fact that she needs him economically, or that she has never gotten over him?
he has no choice
