Thats my main concern especially if he picks a religious conservative like Mike Huckabee.

Now I understand your concern, you don't want him to pick a ultra-conservative VP just to die in office and give the Presidency to said VP. Completely understandable. It feels like Roosevelt's Fourth term, a vote for Roosevelt was a vote for his VP. A vote for McCain could most likely be a vote for his VP. That could get scary.

He still has energy in him and is a good person, but why should age matter? I don't like McCain because he and I don't see eye to eye, his age is the least of my concerns (unless his VP is worse than him, cause he may be President).
Funny. You ask why should age matter? And then procede to state (unless his VP is worse than him, cause he may be President).

Didn't you just answer your own question of why age matters?

Not really, but there is a big difference between debating and baiting. At least the guy recognizes people to old for the task are being elected.

and Reagan was a terrible president no matter how many republicans worship him.
I agree with that off-topic statement. Reagan if you all recall suffered with Altimers and the last year of his presidency was run by family members and staff we are told. Old age is problem with electing candidates to any office.

Personally I think that McCain is to old and to angry to be a good president.
Besides being to old, he suffers from PTSD and related physical and mental symptoms that affect the ability to lead.

And women suffer from PMS. And so PMS would affect Hillary's ability to lead at least a few days out of the month. We all know how bad that can get when women get the "curse" and it is predictable. Would you want Hillary making a bad choice because she was emotional and sensitive. I have sisters and I grew up with it. I know how unpredictable women can get when suffering PMS. Very irrational as well. The bad guys would chart her cycle and attack us on a day that they new she was very crampy.

Every candidate has his/her's pros and cons.

Reagan was 68 when he was sworn in, that's younger than McCain who is 72 right now.

I can't believe you even went there.

PMS really, that is the most sad response I have seen in a long time.

Hey maybe Obama has restless leg syndrome.

If Khalidi is such a terrorist what is he doing teaching as a professor at one of Americas most esteemed universities? And even if Obama were friendly with this guy or partied with him isn't a little ignorant to conclude that Obama is NOT "truly concerned about safeguarding this country against terrorism?"

Everyone who seems to try and bash Obama does it in an indirect fashion using someone he knew, or his pastor but always have very little of substance on him.
McCain on the other hand is supposed to be experienced and been on senate committees and yet he doesn't know the ****ing difference between a shiite and a sunni? Thats a pretty horrendous mistake and it wasn't made by someone he knew, it was made by HIM! Not once but 3 times in a matter of a few weeks! I have to think he has had someone sit down and say "hey John, you can't be making this mistake, it makes you look stupid, you are supposed to be the one who knows this ****".

Hillary I would venture to guess is past this stage and she won't be running anyway.
