Virginia medical doctors joined a pro-Obama group today to demand that Sen. John McCain fully release his medical records.

McCain, 72, released in May more than 1,100 pages of medical records for a handful of reporters to view for three hours. The records detailed surgeries McCain had to remove skin cancer on his left temple and elsewhere.

Records also showed the medications McCain takes to control slightly high cholesterol and to prevent blood clots.

Dr. Nancy Bruckner, a dermatologist in McLean, Va., said in a conference call with reporters that news reports based on those documents suggested that McCain's doctors were "overly optimistic" in labeling the stage of McCain's melanoma.

1. I was thinking about that today.

I know much has been said about his wandering mind and strange face movements, but what about the about-face personality change?

2. He is clearly not a well man, and I think it's part of their plan

to have him out of office one way or the other within two years and let that halfwit from Alaska take over.

He has all the ingredients for an exit, for any number of reasons.

3. This could well be the most under-reported issue of the campaign.

To endlessly hear McGramps asking the question, 'who is Barack Obama really?' after he's been under the national microscope for 2 full years. And he picks a nobody with nothing between the ears who no one had heard of 2 months ago to be his running mate. His ill-health makes it a very real possibility that this moron will become president if he is elected. We're supposed to be comfortable with his assurances that she's up for the job?
