What is weird is that this seems similar to the type of cancer that took out Ted Kennedy.

Does being a senator increase your odds of getting brain cancer or something?

seems weird to me...

I too wanted McCain gone (who didn’t?) but not this way.

Wish he and his family the very best but this doesn’t look good.

The problem isn’t McCain, but the people who elected him, over and over again.

Power of incumbency is strong. "Democracy" simply doesn't work as it should because people become lazy and just keep electing the familiar name.

Term Limits is an idea that should be tried.

“What are the odds his daughter tries to get his seat.”

Different states have different laws concerning succession and I don’t know what arizona’s is. But, should McCain resign and if his seat is filled by appointment by the governor it would not be uncommon that a spouse or adult child to be selected. It’s often done to show respect. I would not be surprised if Meghan should be appointed.

Prayers for McCain and his family.

Don’t agree with most of his politics but now is not time for that.

If this is the type of tumor I believe it is, he wont have anything close to a year to live. These are very aggressive and deadly tumors that are very hard if not impossible to treat.

I’m not a fan of McCain, but would not wish this on anyone. I might point out he did serve this country in war, though not in Congress.

He's lived longer than anyone in my family. I'm 69 and the last one left.

Lindsey is CNN’s senior Republican now.

I would like to say something about Lindsey, but it would be another one of those comments which the moderators would delete.

They probably should get Pelosi to the doctor quick. She was making even less sense than usual these past months.

May God take care of the McCain family and all who are in similar situations.
