the funniest thing about this quote is that this thread should have nothing to do with mccain/obama but really just about why people choose to vote republican....

but, i'll bite...

my grandfather is 87 years old. he has seen cancer and a heart attack (more than 20 years ago) and still lives independently. my grandmother just turned 80. fortunately, her health has been good.

mccain is 72, his health record is much cleaner than that of my grandfathers when he was 72. my other grandmother passed away at 77, she was diabetic and had several cardio issues. again, mccains bill of health is much cleaner than hers was. use things close to home as your basis for judgement.

there is a chance that any elected official might not live to see the end of their term. plane/car crashes, assanation, sudden illness... you name it. we have had presidents with much worse health elected to office. hell, teddy kennedy continues to get re-elected term in, term out. dick cheney was written off as dead in 2000 and he is still on the move.

i dont buy the "McCain is too old" argument.
