Thanks for the link. I honestly think there is a good likelihood that McCain's health is a bigger issue than people make it. If I were him, I would be concerned about a recurrence of the melanoma. His lesion was in a difficult area - difficult in that there are so many vital structures there. While, of course, a recurrence wouldn't have to be in the same area, a recurrence is very possible. We certainly don't know if there were affected cells in the neck lymph nodes - just that they stripped them out - perhaps in case it had spread microscopically. Melanoma is a particularly invasive cancer.

McCain strikes me as a very egomaniacal type of guy. He certainly could change parties and provide the dems an opportunity in '04. If his health were more secure, he might even surely do it. I don't know. Will be interesting to see what happens.

I'll have to ask dittomom about McCain's health and the scuttlebutt about McCain's health. He is a meglomaniac, but I thought that the animosity between President Bush and McCain wasn't so bad anymore. I could be wrong. And I totally agree that if his health were better, he'd probably not be a Republican, but an Independent. I can't see him being a Democrat. Dittomom, your thoughts?
