Saying he has physical disabilities resulting from his imprisonment is one thing; saying with certainty that such will cause him to not survive a term as President is a whole another thing (and a foolish one at that since you added the foolishness factor to the thread).

By no means am I certain that he won't survive the term. However, this may be one of the most important running-mate choices I can remember.

I am as concerned about McCain's age as I am Obama's lack of experience. Both are very troubling.

I think it's LEGITIMATE to have concerns about both (and while I haven't said it out loud, I'm pretty sure most regulars in P&R get the idea that I'm an Obama supporter, and longer than most.)

 

You just have to add those concerns into everything else and see at what conclusion you arrive.

I don't disagree with your last sentence. Then again, if we really thought about it, the VP choice should always be very important.

A friend (who is one of the smartest people I've ever known) and I were saying this exact same thing last night. She said that she's a few years younger than McCain and she knows for a fact that she isn't as capable of doing stuff at her age as she was just a few years ago.

 

I don't know if his age is something to worry about or not. I don't know, since I'm about 20 years younger, what those added years do to you. What I am concerned about with McCain is his temper. He just always strikes me as being on step away from blowing up.

 

I thought I heard something on tv today about McCain not being born in the US. Has anyone heard this?

 

As for Obama - I just can't quite put my finger on what bothers me about him. For one, I think his wife has a smart mouth on her but that shouldn't be cause for me to be concerned about him but concerned I am. I just don't get a good feeling about him for some reason.

 

Huckabee - We probably won't have to be concerned about him unless of course the thing about McCain not being born here plays out, if that is even true.

 

Clinton - Believe it or not, I am not pleased with her. I can't believe I'm going to say this but say it I will.....If she wants to compete with the big boys then she needs to stop that whining.

 

Since I am not fond of any of them...I probably just won't vote.:irked:

I agree with you. But that's still not a reason why I would vote for someone I totally disagree with.

If I was 71 and running for President I would be in Florida every other day sucking up to the old folks and telling them that 'our age' is under attack. I think you could easily carry the state...

Except that old people are in Florida because they're retired.

I think you are right on the runing-mate is going to very important. ON both sides.
