You also have to ask yourself, when is enough, enough?

Call it a day, and go to the house!

McCain is way to selfish for that though, a presidency is his entiltement. (in his mind)

"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!

alakazam "Is age a measure of prowess?"

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.
