You know, the thing about age is that John McCain is an "old" 72. Some 72 year olds are vital, healthy, and young for their age. You see them on the tennis courts, or in the gym, in great physical shape and, most importantly, they are really sharp mentally. You are blown away when you learn they are 72. But John McCain is not one of them. Mentally and physically he almost seems like late 70s. So the discussion about age and fitness for office, I think, has to be more than about chronological age. Then there is the fact that he has had four or five (I forgot how many) malignant melanomas removed which is not good.
