McCain's campaign confirmed that Cindy McCain was taken to the hospital as a precaution for treatment of a "minor sprain." An attendee at a fundraising event in West Bloomfield, Mich., apparently shook Cindy McCain's hand a bit too strongly, aggravating her pre-existing carpal tunnel syndrome.

She was traveling with McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, as he planned to attend three Oakland County fundraising events Wednesday, campaign aides said.
