I think what you're refering to is the fact that if McCain won he'd be the oldest inaugurated president of the US. Technically, that's true.

He went to France?
Look, the current (2008) average life span of an American male is about 3 years off for McCain. Couple that with the fact that he'll be in the most stressful job in the world and he has a long history of medical problems including cancer... Let's please not pretend that he's the picture of health and vitality, that would be very dishonest.

It is fucking disgusting and another reason for me to be truly disgusted and apathetic towards the Dem. Party I once loved.

You find anything despicable that could possibly benefit Obama.

Obama's race doesn't make him a lot more likely to cause him to be sick or die.
