This is just one problem you have with our current, drawn-out primary system.
In 2000, I voted for McCain in Michigan. Not because I would have voted for Gore in the Fall, but would have voted for McCain over Gore, but Gore over Bush. We don't have rank-based voting here, but not that it would have fixed this problem. TO solve this problem, you would almost have to have one party go first through all the states, and then have the second party go through it all, but you could only pick one contest to vote in.
But, when maybe 50 million Americans (1 in 5 who are eligible to vote) care to show up to vote in one of the most hyped elections ever, the whole election process is broken.

Why would people be concerned with his age? Our VP right now isn't a shining example of health. And I would love to see the file the Secret Service has on threats to the Pres. I could imagine his health is threated every day.
If McCain has enough energy to run a campaign (and even go to Iraq), he has what it takes to be the Pres.
