McCain Looks Old.
I just watched McCain deliver his victory speech in Dallas and he looked really old. We've known for a while that, if he won the general election, he'd be older than any other newly inaugurated president in history, older even than Ronald Reagan, but, until recently he always managed to seem fairly vigorous. Now, though, his age is really getting to him. While giving the speech, his left eyelid was constantly twitching, he appeared frail and, after it, he moved away with small unsteady steps. He looks old and it's going to cost him in the campaign.

He's a lizard. And he looks extremely old. He was there when Zenu dropped the H Bomb, and you all know it. Even if you don't.

What kind of debate is this? (I've had worse)
Of course he does.
And when Chuck Norris pointed it out, I didn't like him anymore.
("him" being Norris)

Yes, John McCain looks old, but he knows how to play this to his advantage very well. McCain once told journalists that he is "older than dirt and has more scars than Frankenstein." By saying this, McCain showed that he has a sense of humour, is able to disarm critics who point to his age and, on occasion, can be self-depreciating.

McCain's age and his history of health problems, however, both mean that he must be very careful when picking a running mate. If he wins the election in November, the chance that his vice president may have to take over is higher than usual. I am absolutely certain, however, that McCain will not pick Jeb Bush as his running mate. If I am wrong, I will owe Hidell a (virtual) pint. If Jeb then "assists" McCain off the White House's second floor balcony--another wild conspiracy theory--I may even buy our fellow debater a bottle of wine.

The Bushes are not terribly popular these days (for fairly obvious reasons) and it is more likely that McCain will pick someone who can win over a key constituency. For example, Mike Huckabee could secure the conservative Evangelical vote, but a black VP candidate could make inroads into the country's African American communities. This latter option is most likely if the Democrats end up choosing Obama.

But look at this i feel like if McCain gets in office he will die and we will be stuck under the vice whoever that may be. He may keel over before inauguration he's not healthy

 Good point. And who's the vice going to be? Jeb Bush maybe. It wouldn't surprise me if the Bushies got Jeb in the Vice President's slot then gave McCain a helpful push over the edge. After all, they tried to do that with Reagan!
