I wonder if McCain wins in 2008 will the GOP exclaim "oh Sh!t, now what? We have McCain and Palin" .
The thing that mostly concerns me about the selection of Palin for VP is the age of McCain.
The office of President is a killer. Look at the Presidents we have had since WWII. Look at their picture when they entered office and when they left office. This job ages the President and ages them hard. Look at the Bushes and Bill Clinton. Look at what the office did to them.
In the US, the life expectancy of males is 75.15 years. McCain just turned 72 and he is not in the best of health now. I have serious concerns that McCain will not be able to medically survive the stresses of being the POTUS.
