Polygamist John McCain
This is rather shocking:
I'd love to get more details about this. Does "obtaining" a marriage license mean that he went to pick up the documents, or that John and Cindy went to the county clerk and got married. If so, McCain remarried before finalizing his divorce!
Watch as his evangelical base either covers their eyes and plugs their ears, or jumps off the McCain bandwagon altogether.
And yes, I know that this is technically "bigamy", not "polygamy". But we've already see right wingers accuse Obama's father of being a polygamist when he, like McCain, was just a bigamist. So what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Although McCain suggested in his autobiography that months passed between his divorce and remarriage, the divorce was granted April 2, 1980, and he wed Hensley in a private ceremony five weeks later. McCain obtained an Arizona marriage license on March 6, 1980, while still legally married to his first wife.

My parents both signed divorce papers in November, 1991 - the final decree was not issued for nearly five months when it was signed by the judge in April, 1992, and recorded by the Clerk in May, 1992(the official date is the one stamped by the clerk of the court).
They both thought for months that it was official. Things like this happen. And, in different states at different times, it has been perfectly legal to obtain a license when a divorce action is pending... you cannot perform the ceremony until the divorce is final.
Nice try, though.
