I'm disappointed in McCain's response. It was quite a reasonable question and one that I'm sure, if he became the GOP nominee, would be an issue in the general election ... and quite rightly so. At an age where many are questioning the ability of people in their late 70s and beyond to drive a car, surely the same questions and more need to be applied to the US President?

His response though implied that being a member of the services is a punishment and is actually something derogatory to the services. I suspect though that what McCain was attempting was to replicate Reagan's humourous response to Walter Mondale re the same question ... but he bombed miserably. Still, the upside is that McCain's campaign is at least in the news this week, LOL
