Cindy McCain suffers hand sprain

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (AP) - A campaign spokeswoman says Cindy McCain left the West Bloomfield, Mich., campaign event Wednesday for X-rays at a local hospital after an enthusiastic supporter squeezed too much. McCain's wife has had previous surgeries for carpal tunnel syndrome and the handshake exacerbated the condition.

Spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker says Mrs. McCain will campaign as planned on Thursday.
