Is McCain too sick to deal with a campaign?
I hear he's a sick old fart in really bad shape.

What are your thoughts?

1. Technically, He Can Carry On
But he'll look awful, awful next to Obama.

I never feel too secure about these things, but... unless Obama turns out to be a member of al Qaeda, I think we've got this thing in the bag/

2. All accounts I've heard is that he is healthy for his age.
Since I would like to live longer then him, I won't disparage him for his age, just his politics.

4. I mean his health, not his age.
He does not look well, IMO.

5. His doctor's say he's in great shape
He's been able to deal with the campaign so far.

Might be a bit more hectic around September & October though. We'll have to wait and see how well he holds up. Maybe he'll do one campaign stop a day while Obama does two.

12. Exactly. I don't think this is a health issue
I think this is a qualifications issue. He's not very bright. He's lost any claim to integrity. And his campaign is horribly funded and organized.

9. McCain is not a candidate good for HDTV.
HDTV has the trick of showing every wrinkle and McCain has 'em for sure.

Mark.

10. McCain is perfectly healthy
haven't you been listening to the corporate media? They all say he is perfectly healthy for an older person.

Just like Reagan during his final years in office, McCain is perfectly healthy. The corporate media told us Reagan was perfectly healthy during his second term. Just like they are telling us McCain is perfectly healthy.

Don't worry be happy, but be afraid of Bin Laden and liburals.

11. Tired, irritable, bewildered, frail, anxious, frustrated, uninspired.
Other than that . . .
My friends, McCentury!

14. 'Feeble' is the word that comes to mind
No wonder they won't let us see his medical records.
