Anybody ever think that maybe we are taxing the health of our candidates by now?
This pace can't be good for anyone's health.

Seeing Eight Belles and hearing the comments about how we push these horses too far made me think about how hard it must be to live the life of a Presidential Candidate. Really, it is amazing John McCain hasn't collapsed. And how is Bill's heart? Can you imagine how awful it would be if something happened to him?

Damn I wish this thing were over and we could give our people a well deserved rest.

1. I only wish we were pushing gramps as hard
as I don't think he can stand up to the pace. And I believe that he will crack and snap at someone while cameras are rolling... and that ends his hopes of winning the election.

2. Leader of the free world is a "hard" job, like DUH-bay sez...
we need someone who can deal with the stress of a campaign. Being Prez is no snoozefest.

5. I'm amazed she hasn't had to resort to red bull.
I live on caffeine.

4. It is a very important question. It should also be pointed out that
the average working is working as hard too. This is the crazy world we live in.

6. That is true. I have no idea how people can have 3 jobs.
I'm exhausted with my one. Of course being on salary and having a boss who thinks an employee working 14 hours a day is a good thing doesn't help.

7. I honestly believe that if something happened to Bill 80% of this
place would dance on his grave, and another 10% would accuse Hillary of killing him.

8. The guy drives me nuts but I don't want him DEAD for goodness sakes.
That's just plain wrong.
