It’s rich to hear McCain criticize Obama as inexperienced when Teddy Roosevelt became president at 42, five years younger than Obama is now. McCain is now 72, thirty years older than his hero. Hard charging is not an adjective one would use to describe McCain.

@Red-Neck: My God, Red Neck was really considering voting for Obama! Wow, my faith in yr twisted version of Orthodox Judaism has been restored. Gimme a break. If your Israeli rebbe allows you to vote in a U.S. election, you were never going to vote the right way. And if you think you’re going to influence any of my readers after the hate you spewed here you’re quite deluded.

While it is risky to attempt to make even the most general of diagnoses without professional tools, I fear that the John McCain of 2008 is not only politically not the Jorn McCain of 2000, but I greatly fear that he is showing the first signs of senile dementia.

It’s not a pleasant subject to talk about, I prefer the conflict of ideas to that of personalities, but the idea of a befuddled old man with his finger on the nuclear button, given to impulsive decisions ans irrascible when challanged makes for a very frightening image.
