[I posted this before McCain had the nomination sewn up. It shouldn't be any surprise that McCain's age will be the subject of the Dem attacks until the election.]

==

If McCain does get the GOP nomination and Obama the Dem nomination, some ads will write themselves.

For example:

It is called the Grand Old Party for a good reason.

John McCain is the best the GOP could find. The GOP stands for Grand Old Party.

Ronald Reagan may have put the C in Conservative, but John McCain will put the O in Grand Old Party.

[If Obama is the nominee]
The Grand Old Party has nominated a candidate from the past; the Democratic Party has nominated a candidate who looks to the future.

The O in Obama stands for Optimism. The O in GOP stands for Grand Old Party.

I want to see doddering old media folks (Barbara Walters, Mike Wallace, etc.) asking if 72 is just too old. Jeez, we have Baby Boomers turning 65 -- are they gonna think "Thsi guy is 7 years older than me! No way is he competent!"

I think attacking him on age is risky and foolish. But maybe that means the Left will focus on it.

I would go with the “O” in Obama for Obfuscation
