McCane is old, and I intend to point it out as much as possible.

[originalpckelly]

He'll be 76 by the end of his first term. If he were re-elected, he'd be 80 by the end of his second term!

Do you really feel comfortable with someone in their late 70s or early 80s making such life altering choices?

[Zywiec]

1. Who is McCane? n/t

[originalpckelly]

3. McCain.

:spank:

[geardaddy]

17. McAnus? n/t

[Maine-ah]

22. actually, McCane (as in walking stick) would work

if you were going to continue pointing out his age.

I still think he looks like the creepy preacher from Poltergeist :scared:

[originalpckelly]

2. I can see a Daisy Ad right now:

"It's 3 AM in the White House, and John McCain can't find the red phone. Something's happening in the world, but he can't remember where he put the red button, or was it the red phone? Hell, he's so old, even I'm starting to forget things while talking about him."

[monmouth]

4. By the time November arrives he'll forget what the hell he came here for...n/t

[joeybee12]

5. McWalkingCane? n/t

[slackmaster]

6. Old people vote

:argh:

[whistle]

7. How old was Ronald Reagan when he campaigned in 1980?

...I thought he was in his mid-seventies also

[ingac70]

8. Ronnie was two years younger than McCain.

[LiberalFighter]

18. We need to hit on Reagan's alzheimer

[BlueStater]

9. The problem isn't so much that McLame is old

The problem is he looks like shit and hardly seems quick on his feet.

[EFerrari]

10. Is this the best argument against McCain?

Better than his rampant unthinking hawkishness or his corruption or his hypocrisy?

Point out whatever you like and, then, deal with the consequences.

:wtf:

[BlueStater]

12. We have plenty against McLame

The fact that the worst president in history endorsed him today won't help him.

[El Supremo]

11. So how old is Justice Stevens?

Just being the devil's advocate. I actually agree with you.

(edited cause I had the wrong justice)

[BlueStater]

14. The ages of the liberal Justices

John Paul Stevens is 87.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 74.
Stephen Breyer is 69.
David Souter is 68.

[Seeking Serenity]

13. "Do you really feel comfortable with someone in their late 70s or early 80s making such ... choices?

Absolutely, all things being equal, because the persons age qua age is irrelevant. Appealing to bigoted sentiments about age is, well, bigoted and nothing of which the Democratic Party should have any part.

[EFerrari]

15. Come to think of it, my mom turns 76 on Firday.

And by all indications, she has many more marbles in play than you do.

[The Straight Story]

16. Logan's run....

is what this reminds me of.

[TwilightGardener]

19. It's our best strategy. He's nursing-home age.

[Timmy5835]

20. Relax......

I have serious doubts he'll make it through the campaign. Not only his age is an issue but he had a malignant melanoma. Those types of cancer never really go away.

[snacker]

21. My 80-yr. old mother thinks he's too old!

David Letterman makes jokes about McCain's age every night....i.e. "He looks like the greeter at Walmart" or "He looks like the guy who can't see above the steering wheel on the car" etc.

[qb]

23. I heard an interesting theory about McCain's age & his candidacy...

The Republicans know they're going to lose this year so they need a disposable candidate who won't try to run again in 2012 or 2016.

[EFerrari]

24. Of course. It's a kamakazi mission.

But let's antagonize everyone over fifty, just in case!
