HILLIAM AND BARACK TO THE FUTURE: BI-POLLING CANDIDATES

In the ABC News Washington Post this past week, Americans were asked three questions. The first was how did they feel about having the first black president and they were a solid plus eight (8) percent. Next they were asked what they thought about the prospect of a first woman president; answer: plus nine (9) percent. The final question was their feelings on electing the first seventy-two (72) year old (plus) president and this one was a minus, as in a negative of twenty-three (23) percent. Does this serve Senator McSame well, as to how well he can serve? Remember, he’s yet to release his medical records, and he has unfortunately battled Melanoma and other issues. This question is becoming a constant for political insiders and the apparently (rather impolite) remarks of one of our contributor’s Charles Sanders about Mr. McCain’s VP choice being that of a political living well may prove to be another instance of a Faux writer plagiarizing in advance.
A final thought (until the next one) on aging, can even the remnants of the Karl Rove spin machine for the ages work on that particular challenge for Mr. McCain. Perhaps given the age of the Republican base (only 14% are 30 years old or younger according to the Florida Republican primary) they can evolve a concept converting that of “dog years” into one of “Republican years” – hey, it’s no longer in dispute that a number of insiders knew Ronald Reagan was showing signs of Alzheimer’s before running for a second term, but…they hope we’ll forget that.
