This entire post might have some relevance if the election was Obama vs Palin, but it's not. It's Obama vs McCain.
Not a flame post - just an observation and my take on the concerns
The age of McCain
The reality is - if you look at all the past presidents, how they look on the first day in office..and what they look like after 4 years... every one of them has aged considerably... it is a highly stressful job - imagine realizing you are responsible for all of us ijots --
The reality is: - it is very apparent that the likelihood is - Palin will be the president within the next 4 years, If you are ignoring that fact, well that is your prerogative... but I look at McCain and say - he will have a tuff time of it physically, it is way more stressful of a job than senator..we are electing between 3 presidential position choices..
