 McCain's campaign fell into early debt; his wife began loaning him tens of thousands of dollars to keep it alive.Donations also came in from Jim Hensley and other Hensley & Co. executives, but the amounts grew large enough that the Federal Election Commission forced return of some of it.By the close of the primary, McCain would outspend his opponents; more of than half of his primary expenditures were financed by the eventual $167,000 that his wife lent to the campaign.
