I'd like to be clear that I intensely dislike picking on my elders - he's actually not SO much older than me [sshhh!] but I feel like 30 or 40 years younger..

I never disrespected the man UNTIL this terrible campaign which was simply a catastrophic mistake for both him and the country.
Even so - I STILL didn't completely lose ALL respect for him until today, when I read about the hate-mongering that he and Palin were indulging in during some campaigning out in the boonies. I've blanked out where because it was so despicable and so vile.
Considering the problems that the country is facing right now all of this is in the nature of a side-show right now. It would be far better to simply STOP campaigning right NOW and deal with the problems. Lord knows the current incumbent is doing nothing but quacking like the lame dick he is and any "solution" which he proposes will be moot anyway.-

"You have to ask yourself...Is Age a measure of prowess?"

To certain extent, yes. We live in a culture that devalues the old and celebrates the young. As the boomer generation ages, that will almost certainly change. McCain has a wealth of life under his belt, but I question his temperament ( just learned it was spelled with an 'a'), his temperance, and his world-view.
Were Obama's principles and policies encased in McCain's body, I'd still vote for him. Were Obama's principles and policies encased in Palin's body? Oooooo, baby! -

Possibly. Remember, even stupid people grow old. Advanced age merely means that person has had more chances to experience a variety of learning situations and can retain an increasing repertoire of solutions and ideas.
However, there is no guarantee that a specific old person has learned the correct lessons in life. McCain, it seems increasingly clear, has learned some of the wrong lessons in life.
