I was watching the stuff about McCain being unable to remember how many houses he had this week - and then consulting his staff and them telling him he had 4 (which was incorrect)... and then I remembered about how McCain has admitted he really isn't that familiar with the internet... and being reminded of his age just makes me think, Jeez, what is the man going to forget about next? Will we wake up one day and hear about how he's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and was found wandering around the West Lawn in his skivvies?
I don't have issues with "older, more experienced" politicians getting into office. Certainly, there are some Supreme Court Justices, Senators and HoR folks who are even older than McCain and doing a fine job. But when it's the President, I'm a little more concerned about their health (and potential health issues) than the guy who has 99 or 434 or even 8 other people who can do the job.
