Reply #6: With 7 years as a POW, 70 is too old to run. [View All]

Entirely aside from his politics, and I hope free of "age-ism," I've maintained that McCain's age is a legitimate issue in the election. Anyone who spent that much time as a POW simply has had too hard a life to take on a challenge like the presidency at the age of 70-whatever. I haven't lived nearly as hard a life as McCain, and I feel the effects of age pretty keenly at 71.
