Senator Kennedy = age = ill health. Likewise, McBush = similar age = same question

[ruby slippers]

I wonder if the MSM will pick up on the fact that Kennedy was in good health one day and ill the next. His age is similar to McSame's so this equation should be discussed in this type of venue.

1. Kennedy was born in 1932. McCain was born in 1936.

:shrug:

2. what a difference four years makes......and I said "similar"....

3. Sometimes McCain simply looks lost and bewieldered

I'd hate to think about what 4 years of the Presidency would do to him. Even worse, I really hate to think about 4 years of his Presidency would do to me.
Of course he could take the Reagan approach and sleep his way through most of it. He naps in public a lot already.

4. I'm more concerned about who he chooses for his running mate should he win...

that is who we may be stuck with in the end....

6. Kennedy has not been in good health for a long time.

7. that's incorrect. Kennedy has not been in good health for some time.

8. and that leads to the horrible concept of

President Huckabee, or Romney...

9. kennedy lived a really hard life

He is a particularly old 76. I am worried about McCains mental acuity but his physical health appears to be good.

10. Before we bring out all the guns on the age issue...

...I think we ought to see who Obama/Hillary chooses as the VEEP. Some of those in the running aren't exactly young. Ted Strickland, for example, is 66.

11. I don't think there is a comparason.

McCain still has good health atleast on the surface. I question his ability to control his mind but that is for a MD and not me.

12. These things can happen

Some people die at 40 from illness (or something sudden like cardiac arrest) like my grandmother others live to 90 and beyond like my grandfather. The fact that one is a dem and another a repub in doesn't prove much, as correlation doesn't necessarily imply causation. So there's really nothing to talk about in terms of evidence, unless I see more put forth . So I don't think the MSM is going to say much about it, unless they know something more than the fact that Kennedy is a dem and McCain is a repub, and honestly in the court of law or public opinion that's not going to prove anything.,I just hope Teddy gets better and moves on.
