McCain looked kind of feeble as he was walking up the stairs. I was just wondering what type of health John McCain is in.

1. He cannot lift his arms higher than his shoulders
He was hanged by them, tied behind his back, for hours on end. He's got nerve damage here and there--arms and legs. I just cannot fathom the guy's attitude towards torture, given what he went through.

5. Warner is nine years older than McCain.
Warner born 1927, McCain 1936. Of course the POW treatment left McCain in bad shape.
