Cindy McCain’s estranged half-sister is not voting Republican, Us Magazine reports. “I’m voting for Obama,” says Kathleen Hensley Portalski, 65, adding she has “a different political standpoint. I’m not a big war believer.”

Her son is even more adamant: “I wouldn't vote for John McCain if he was a Democrat,” he says. “I would not vote at all before I'd vote for him. I question whether Cindy is someone I'd want to see in the White House as first lady.” (More Cindy McCain stories.)
