No one with a brain would think he really thinks we would be there 100 yrs.

You liberals should have your hands full trying to find the 57 states that obama visited. Who knows he might get a lot of votes in those states.

My poiont exactly. McCain thinks we''ll be there 100 years because he said so, so in your opinion he hasnb''t a brain.

As for the 57 in your Barack comments he was referring to the total number of primaries and caucuses, 57.

Age isn''t the issue, mental stability and clarity is. McCain is not too old to be the president, he''s too senile.

An Old Wise man is far better than a young foolish man.

Ans: Are you saying that John McCain is a Wise Man ..Puh-Lease

Posted by guysdigdirt: Judging someone just based on age shows ones own insecurities based on their own faults.

Ans: Speak for Yourself...The Old Man is Not Wise, He`s Ancient, Geriatric, A Senior Citizen...Thats it.

Look at what they have done and what they stand for, now just what party they belong to.

Ans: Like Mccain with his Lobbyist Ridden & Special Interest Group Campaign. His Lobbyist Lover and all the other Women that have yet to be Exposed.

Just like 3-Times Married Newt Gingrich & Rush Limbaugh...McCain is under just by one. But his Lobbyist Lover is on his Trail.

I can''t beleive that they made Hillary #1 on the choices for VP. What a frikin joke. That evil women has NO chance at getting the VP spot, If she did republicans and Independents would flock to McCain faster then he could handle.

I guess thats why they call CBS the Clinton Broadcast System!

Age does not guarantee wisdom or good judgement, and age increases the risk of mental lapses and memory issues. Despite his age, McCain has displayed bad judgement in his political record, so I don''t think McCain''s age is really what bother people...McCain''s policies don''t necessarily reflect a wisdom that comes with age. There are no sages in politics, not even the oldest among our congress people. Political wisdom is usually shared by those who are out of politics. I would want a president who can get the details correct such as knowing the difference between Shiites and Sunnis and the role of Al Quaeda in Iraq. McCain didn''t instill any trust in his military leadership when McCain couldn''t get his facts correct. And the fact that McCain is getting his military "intelligence" from Bush-placed generals doesn''t tell me that McCain is getting an independent view of the situation in Iraq, just more of the same window-dressing that Bush wants the American people to see. So, it''s not merely McCain''s age that could be an issue...it''s McCain''s judgement and recent actions that are McCains problem. And unfortunately, you can''t teach an old dog new tricks. Fresh leadership...better ideas....no more Bush/Cheney or the republicans. America deserves better.

I don''''''''t believe age has anything to do with one''''s ability to be a good president. However the cognitive ability on the other hand has everything to do with in charge of thousands of nuke! I really don''''''''t think John "bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran" McSame has the right mentality to be in charge of our nuclear arsonal! We need someone who reserves the right to use but only as last resort to be in charge. Sound judgement and good common sense is much more important issue than age!
There is no doubt in my mind that you have to love this country very much to risk everything including your life to run for president. I really would appreciate both the right and left wing bloggers to stop using smear campaign on these comment section.
