2. I usually watch all my videos online.
This weekend I was in a home with a big tv, and cable news. I was shocked at how bad he looks. The bulge seems to have spread to around his eye, like his whole left side of his face is rotting off.

7. They also put loads of make-up on him last night
It makes you wonder what might be going on there. The bulge is unquestionably getting bigger. Some people say it could be nothing more than the natural swelling that could result from running a hard schedule. The melanoma surgeries would have seriously screwed up the tissue's ability to drain itself.

But having suffered melanoma twice, it is a good bet the disease is back again. I certainly don't wish this on McCain or anybody else, but he has not been honest with the public about his health. it is an important, relevant issue.

5. It is on both sides.. The camera angle just makes it look one-sided
he's got gigantic mutant-like jaw muscles. Probably genetic inheritance bolstered by the active jaw clenching and teeth grinding that typifies Sidney's deportment.

6. I've read that with his melanoma he had lymph nodes removed and that
part of the swelling is due to edema that results from the absence of the lymph nodes (they are part of the natural egress of fluids from tissue).
