Cindy McCain's Mission to Georgia

Substance over style.

She has slipped away from the campaign trail frequently this year: In March McCain visited Kosovo with HALO, to assess progress in clearing minefields there. In June she was in Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia, working with Operation Smile, the charity that helps disfigured children, on whose board she also serves. In July she was in Rwanda, reviewing relief efforts by the World Food Program. She planned to return to the U.S. from Georgia late Wednesday: "It's a very quick trip."
